| Description: | Test compounds in 100% DMSO were screened in 1% DMSO (final) in the well. For 10 point titrations, 3-fold serial dilutions are conducted from the starting concentration of 30 μM.The peptide/kinase, MAP2K1 (MEK1)/inactive MAPK1 (ERK2)/Ser/Thr 03, mixture (“Peptide/kinase Mixture”) was diluted to a 2× working concentration in the following buffer (“Kinase Buffer”): 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA. The final 10 μL kinase reaction consisted of 0.06-0.25 ng MAP2K1 (MEK1), 105 ng inactive MAPK1 (ERK2), and 2 μM Ser/Thr 03 in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA. After the 1 hour incubation, 5 μL of a 1:1024 dilution of Development Reagent A (available from Invitrogen, catalog no. PV3295) was added.ATP solutions were diluted to a 4× working concentration in Kinase Buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA). ATP Km apparent was previously determined using a Z′-LYTE assay. The Development Reagent was diluted in Development Buffer (available from Invitrogen, catalog no. P3127).Assay Protocol: 2.5 μL of 4× test compound or 100 nL of 100× Test Compound plus 2.4 μL Kinase Buffer, 5 μL of the 2× Peptide/Kinase Mixture, 2.5 μL of 4×ATP Solution were added to the plates and placed on a shake plate for 30-seconds. The kinase reaction was allowed to proceed for 60-minute at room temperature, before 5 μL of Development Reagent Solution was added, and the mixture agitated for 30-seconds on a shake plate. The mixture was incubated for 60-minute at room temperature. Fluorescence was measured using a plate reader and the data were analyzed. |
