| | HTRF KinEASE Assay |
| Description: | ASK1 was purchased from Thermofisher (Catalogue # PV4011), ATP was purchased from Sigma (Catalogue # A7699), HTRF KinEASE Assay System was obtained from Cisbio (Bedford, Mass.). Area plate was purchased from Perkin Elmer (Catalogue # #6005560). HTRF KinEASE -STK is a generic method for measuring serine/threonine kinase activities using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay. The IC50 value for each compound was determined in the presence of compound (various concentration from 0 to 10 μM) and a fixed amount of ATP and peptide substrates. The test compound, 1 uM STK3 peptide substrate, and 5 nM of ASK1 kinase are incubated with kinase reaction buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA for 30 minutes. 100 uM ATP is added to start kinase reaction and incubated for 3 hours. The STK3-antibody labeled with Eu3+-Cryptate and 125 nM streptavidin-XL665 are mixed in a single addition with stop reagents provided by the Cisbio kit used to stop the kinase reaction. Fluorescence is detected using an Envision Multilabeled 2014 reader from PerkinElmer. The Fluorescence is measured at 615 nm (Cryptate) and 665 nm (XL665) and a ratio of 665 nm/615 nm is calculated for each well. The resulting TR-FRET is proportional to the phosphorylation level. Staurosporine was used as the positive control. IC50 was determined by XLfit 5.3. |
