| | Activated ERK2 Kinase Assay |
| Description: | Compound potency against activated ERK2 was determined using a kinase assay that measures ERK2-catalyzed phosphorylation of biotinylated ERKtide peptide substrate ([Biotin]-AHA-K-R-E-L-V-E-P-L-T-P-S-G-E-A-P-N-Q-A-L-L-R- [NH2], the peptide sequence derived from EGF receptor: SEQ ID NO:1). The assay was carried out in 50 mM HEPES [pH 7.5], 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.05% BSA using 0.25 nM ERK2, 200 nM ERKtide peptide and 35 μM ATP (all concentrations are final in the reaction) in a total volume of 10.25 μL. A 16-point, half-log dilution series of compounds at 41× final concentration was used for generating IC50 curves. Compound dilution series were prepared in 100% DMSO. ERK2 was preincubated with compounds for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. Reaction was initiated by addition of a substrate cocktail of ERKtide peptide and ATP and was allowed to proceed for 2-3 hours at ambient temperature. Reaction was terminated by addition of 10 μL of a 2× stop buffer consisting of 100 mM Tris-Cl [pH 7.5], 25 mM EDTA, 0.01% Tween 20, 10 μg/mL of AlphaScreen Protein A Acceptor Beads, 10 μg/mL of Streptavidin Donor Beads (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.), and 1.4 μg/mL phospho-EGF Receptor (Thr669) antibody (Cat #3056, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Mass.). Terminated reactions were read, after overnight incubation in the dark, on an EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.), with excitation and emission wavelengths set to 680 nm and 570 nm, respectively. |
