Assay Procedure
  • Assay Buffer:  0.1 M MES, pH 5.5
  • Recombinant Human Hexosaminidase B/HEXB (rhHEXB) (Catalog # 8907-GH)
  • Substrate: 4-Methylumbelliferyl-N-Acetyl-beta -D-glucosaminide (4-MU-GlcNAc) (Sigma, Catalog # M2133), 50 mM stock in DMSO
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhHEXB to 2 ng/μL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 800 μM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load into a plate 50 μL of 2 ng/μL rhHEXB, and start the reaction by adding 50 μL of 800 μM Substrate. For Substrate Blank, load 50 μL of Assay Buffer and 50 μL of 800 μM Substrate.
  4. Read plate at excitation and emission wavelengths of 365 nm and 445 nm, respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

      *Adjusted for Substrate Blank
      **Derived using calibration standard 4-Methylumbelliferone (4-MU) (Sigma, Catalog # M1381) Per Well:
  • rhHEXB: 0.1 μg
  • Substrate: 400 μM

Background

Beta-hexosaminidases are enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of terminal N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in GM2 gangliosides and globo sphingolipids in lysosomes in the brain and other tissues (1-4). These enzymes are composed of alpha and/or beta  subunits, which are coded by HEXA and HEXB genes, respectively. Different combination of alpha and beta subunits gives rise to beta-hexosaminidase isoform A, B and S (Hex A, B and S) (5), which have the composition of alpha beta , beta beta and alpha alpha , respectively. The recombinant HEXB is presumably in the B isoform and is highly active on 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-beta -D-glucosaminide. Mutations in HEXA and HEXB genes cause lysosomal lipid storage disorders, such as Tay-Sachs disease, manifested by harmful accumulation of ganglioside GM2 in tissues and nerve cells in the brain (6-9). Also, mutation of HEXB results in Sandhoff disease manifested by the accumulation of both ganglioside GM2 and globoside in tissues and nerve cells in the brain (10, 11).
