| | Aurora A Kinase Biochemical Assay |
| Description: | Activity of human recombinant Aurora A (ThermoFisher, cat #PR5935A) was measured by quantification of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using the ADP-Glo Kinase Assay Kit (Promega, cat #V9102). Test compounds were solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and dispensed into 384-well white polystyrene nonbinding plates (Greiner, cat #781094) using the Echo acoustic dispenser (Labcyte Inc.) in a 11-point 3-fold titration in duplicates. 5 無 of 5.0 nM Aurora A in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.01% Brij-35, 0.01% BSA, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT) was added to the plates. Test compounds and Aurora A were incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature (RT). Then 5 無 of a 40 然 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Promega, cat #V915B) and 9.3uM Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) (SignalChem, cat #M42-51N) substrate solution in assay buffer was added and the reaction mixture was incubated for 2 hours at RT. The final concentration of Aurora A, ATP and MBP in the reactions were 2.5 nM, 20 然 and 4.7 然, respectively. Reactions were stopped and the remaining ATP depleted by adding 10uL of ADP-Glo reagent (Promega, cat#V912B) and incubating for 40 minutes at RT. The simultaneous conversion of the remaining ADP to ATP and measurement of the newly synthesized ATP was achieved by addition of 20 無 Kinase Detection reagent (Promega, cat #V914B), incubation for 30 min at RT, and luminescence detection using the EnVision plate reader (PerkinElmer). Reactions lacking Aurora A were used as 100% inhibition controls. Reactions containing DMSO alone were used as 0% inhibition controls. The IC50 values reported in Table 2 were determined using four parameter non-linear regression curve fit. |
