| Description: | Briefly, a 1.25× stock of MK-2 enzyme from Invitrogen (PV3317), a 5× stock of ATP (AS001A), and ST3-Sox peptide substrate (KNZ1031C) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT. Compound potency assays were initiated by adding a 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO and serially diluted compounds prepared in 100% DMSO to a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.) followed immediately by 10 μL of the ST3-Sox peptide and ATP substrate solution. Kinase reactions were started with the addition of 40 μL of MK-2 enzyme and monitored every 71 seconds for 30-240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy2, Synergy4 or Synergy H4 plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to +30 minutes) from each reaction was estimated from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (minutes) and normalized to the no enzyme and no inhibitor control groups for % Inhibition. The resulting % Inhibition values were then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate IC50 from log[Inhibitor] vs Response, Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.). Potency results for the compounds tested are shown in Table A in the column entitled MK2 IC50. [Reagent] used:[MK-2]=0.4 nM, [ATP]=1.0 mM and [ST3-Sox]=10 μM (ATP appKM=8-10 μM) |
