| | ASK1 Inhibitor Effect Determined by ASK1 Enzymatic Assay |
| Description: | The purpose of this assay is to determine the effect of ASK1 inhibitors on the production of ADP by ASK1. The recombinant human ASK1 (hASK1) catalytic domain tagged with Glutathione S-transferase is used, and histidine-tagged full-length human MAP kinase kinase 6 (MKK6) and ATP are the substrate and cofactor, respectively.The assay is done using an ADP-Glo Kinase Assay Kit (Promega, Catalog #V9102) according to the manufacturer's protocol with the following modifications. Briefly, hASK1 (0.25 nM) and MKK6 (300 nM) in a buffer (10 mM MOPS pH 7.0; 10 mM Mg-Acetate; 1 mM DTT; 0.025% NP-40; 0.05% BSA; 1.5% glycerol) are incubated with ASK1 inhibitors at varying concentrations ranging from 10.00 uM to 0.17 nM for 15 minutes, followed by incubation with ATP (100 uM) for 30 minutes at room temperature. ADP-Glo Reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. The Kinase Detection Reagent is then added to convert ADP to ATP. The newly synthesized ATP is measured using a luciferase/luciferin reaction, and the luminescence determined by Envision (PerkinElmer). The luminescence intensities are analyzed by GeneData, and fit to a 4 parameter dose response-inhibitor logistics curve to determine IC50 values, using the effects of 5-(4-cyclopropyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-fluoro-4-methyl-N-{6-[4-(propan-2-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyridin-2-yl}benzamide as a standard and DMSO vehicle for 100% and 0% inhibition, respectively. |
