Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  BRAF V600E and V600K Enzyme Assay
Description:  A competitive displacement assay was configured for B-Raf that monitors the amount of a fluorescently-tagged tracer bound to B-Raf via TR-FRET from an anti-tag Eu-labeled antibody also bound to B-Raf. For full-length FLAG-tagged B-Raf(V600E), the assay mixtures consisted of 25 mM K+HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, 2% DMSO (from compound), 50 nM Tracer 1710 (ThermoFisher, PR9176A), 0.5 nM Eu anti-FLAG (M2)-cryptate Ab (Cisbio, 61FG2KLB) and 5 nM full-length, N-terminally FLAG-tagged B-Raf(V600E) (Origene Technologies, TP700031. When B-Raf(V600K) was assayed, the following substitutions were made: 15 nM Tracer 178 (ThermoFisher, PV5593), 2 nM Eu-anti-GST Ab (ThermoFisher, PV5595) and 5 nM N-terminally GST-tagged B-Raf(V600K) (331-end, SignalChem, B08-12DG). Compounds were typically diluted in DMSO across an 11-point dosing range created using a 3-fold serial dilution protocol at a top dose of 10 μM. The assay was run in 384-well, polystyrene, low-volume, non-treated, white microtiter plates (Costar 4512) in a final volume of 12 μL. Low control wells included 1 μM of a potent B-Raf inhibitor as a control.
