| Description: | The kinase reactions were assembled in 384-well plates (Greiner) in a total volume of 20 mL as follows. Kinase protein was pre-diluted in an assay buffer comprising 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 1 mM DTT, 2.5 mM MgCl2, and 2.5 mM MnCl2, and 0.005% Triton X-100, and dispensed into a 384-well plate (10 μL per well). Test compounds were serially pre-diluted in DMSO and added to the protein samples by acoustic dispensing (Labcyte Echo). The concentration of DMSO was equalized to 1% in all samples. All test compounds were tested at 12 concentrations. Apilimod was used as a reference compound and was tested in identical manner in each assay plate. Control samples (0%-inhibition, in the absence of inhibitor, DMSO only) and 100%-inhibition (in the absence of enzyme) were assembled in replicates of four and were used to calculate %-inhibition in the presence of compounds. The reactions were initiated by addition of 10 μL of 2× PI3P/PS substrate supplemented with ATP. The final concentration of enzyme was 2 nM, the final concentration of ATP was 10 mM, and the final concentration of PI3P/PS substrate was 1 μM (PI3P). The kinase reactions were allowed to proceed for 3 h at room temperature. Following incubation, the reactions were quenched by addition of 50 mL of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, 20 mM EDTA). Terminated plates were analyzed on a microfluidic electrophoresis instrument (Caliper LabChip® 3000, Caliper Life Sciences/Perkin Elmer). |
