Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  FGFR2 Kinase Assay
Description:  Small molecule inhibition of FGFR2 kinase activity was evaluated using a fluorescence-based microfluidic mobility shift assay. FGFR2 catalyzes the production of ADP from ATP during phosphoryl transfer to the substrate peptide, FLPeptide30 (5-FAM-KKKKEEIYFFF CONH2) (Perkin Elmer, 760430). The mobility shift assay electrophoretically separates the fluorescently labeled peptides (substrate and phosphorylated product) following the kinase reaction. Both substrate and product were measured and the ratio of these values used to generate % conversion of substrate to product by the LabChip EZ reader (Perkin Elmer). Wild type FGFR2 (Carna Bioscience, 08-134) at 0.06 nM was prepared with 1.5 μM substrate, 10 mM MgCl and 100 μM ATP in a butler containing 50 nM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Brij-35, 0.05% BSA, and 2 mM DTT prior to addition of compounds in DMSO and incubation for 80 minutes at room temperature. The reaction was terminated by addition of 0.5 MEDIA. IC50 values were calculated using the inhibition of conversion ratio using Dotniatics Knowledge Solutions Studies curve fitting (Dotmatics, Bishops Stortford, UK, CM23).
