| Description: | The protocol below describes continuous-read kinase assays to measure potency of compounds against activated ERK1 enzyme. The mechanics of the assay platform are best described by the vendor (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) on their website at the following URL: invitrogen.com/site/us/en/home.html.Briefly, a 1.25× stock of ERK1 enzyme (14-439-K) from Millipore (Billerica, Mass.), 5×ATP (AS001A) and ST17-Sox conjugated peptide substrate (KNZ1171C) were prepared in 1× kinase reaction buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5% glycerol (10× stock, KB002A) and 0.2 mM DTT. 10 μL of ATP/ST17-sox peptide substrate mix was combined with 0.5 μL volume of 100% DMSO and serially diluted compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO in a Corning (#3574) 384-well, white, non-binding surface microtiter plate (Corning, N.Y.). Kinase reactions were started with the addition of 40 μL of ERK1 solution and monitored every 71 seconds for 30-240 minutes at λex360/λem485 in a Synergy plate reader from BioTek (Winooski, Vt.). At the conclusion of each assay, progress curves from each well were examined for linear reaction kinetics and fit statistics (R2, 95% confidence interval, absolute sum of squares). Initial velocity (0 minutes to 30+ minutes) from each reaction was determined from the slope of a plot of relative fluorescence units vs time (minutes or seconds) and then plotted against inhibitor concentration to estimate AppIC50 from log [Inhibitor] vs Response, Variable Slope model in GraphPad Prism from GraphPad Software (San Diego, Calif.). |
