Assay Procedure
  • Assay Buffer: 100 mM Sodium Acetate, pH 5.0
  • Recombinant Human Biliverdin Reductase B/BLVRB (rhBLVRB) (Catalog # 6568-BR)
  • Riboflavin 5’-monophosphate sodium salt dihydrate (FMN) (Sigma, Catalog # F6750), 10 mM in deionized water
  • beta -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced, tetrasodium salt ( beta -NADPH) (Sigma, Catalog # N7505), 10 mM in deionized water
  • UV Plate (Costar, Catalog # 3635)
  • Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhBLVRB to 40 ng/μL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Prepare a Reaction Mixture by combining FMN and beta -NADPH in Assay Buffer to a concentration of 400 μM for each.
  3. Load 50 μL of 40 ng/μL rhBLVRB into the microplate, and start the reaction by adding 50 μL of Reaction Mixture. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 μL of Assay Buffer and 50 μL of Reaction Mixture.
  4. Read at an absorbance of 340 nm in kinetic mode for 5 minutes (Note: readings will be negative).
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x -1 x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol
ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank 
     **Using the extinction coefficient 6270 M-1cm-1 
     ***Using the path correction 0.32 cm
     Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD. Per Well:
  • rhBLVRB: 2 μg
  • FMN: 200 μM
  • beta -NADPH: 200 μM

Background

Clearance of heme in mammals is a two-step process starting with conversion of heme to biliverdin by heme oxygenase, followed by reduction of biliverdin to bilirubin by bilivredin reductase. Biliverdin IX b reductase (BLVRB) converts the  beta  isomer of biliverdin IX to bilirubin IX b, which constitutes 87% of total bilirubin in fetal bile. Therefore BLVRB is especially important for fetal heme metabolism and clearance (1). BLVRB is a cytoplasmic enzyme expressed at high levels in erythrocytes and liver, but is present in other tissues (2). The enzyme is identical to flavin reductase, which is an oxidoreductase that catalyses the NADPH-dependent reduction for a variety of flavins, such as riboflavin, FAD or FMN and met‑hemoglobin (3, 4). BLVRB is structurally distinct from BLVRA. In contrast to BLVRA, which prefers the biliverdin alpha  isomer but could also use the  beta  isomer as substrate, BLVRB is specific for the beta  isomer (5, 6).
