Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Enzymatic Activity Assay for Rec Human PI3Kgamma
Description:  The activity of recombinant human PI3Kγ (aa144-1102)-6His was determined by measuring the ADP level after phosphorylation of DiC8-PIP2 using a commercially available ADP-Glo kit from Promega. The assay was carried out in white low volume 384 well plates in a final volume of 14 μl at rt. The assay conditions contained the following: 50 mM Tris buffer pH 7.4, 2.1 mM DTT, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.05% CHAPS, 20 μM ATP, 80 μM DiC8-PIP2 and 1.2 nM PI3Kγ. Potential inhibitors were made up in DMSO and then diluted in the assay to give a final concentration of not exceeding 1% (v/v) DMSO. A 10-point half-log dilution series of the inhibitors (highest concentration typically 0.1 μM) was tested and the pIC50 determined using a 4-parameter logistic equation in a non-linear curve fitting routine. Routinely, inhibitors were pre-incubated with 3 μl of PI3Kγ for 15 min prior to the addition of 2 l substrate mixture for a further 60 min enzyme reaction. The phosphorylation was stopped with the addition of 3 μl ADP-Glo reagent (stop solution) followed by a 40 min incubation. Prior to detection 6 μl of ADP-Glo Kinase Detection Reagent was added and the plates were read in a micro plate reader using a Luminescence filter.
