Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  P70S6K Enzyme Assay
Description:  P70S6K inhibitor compounds are diluted and plated in 96 well plates. A reaction mixture including the following components is then added to the compound plate to initiate the enzyme reaction; P70S6K (3 nM, T412E mutant, Millipore) is mixed with 24 uM ATP in an assay buffer containing 100 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.015% Brij and 1 uM of the substrate peptide FITC-AHA-AKRRRLSSLRA-OH (derived from the S6 ribosomal protein sequence, FITC=fluorescein isothiocyanate, AHA=6-aminohexanoic acid). The reaction is incubated for 90 min at 25° C., before the addition of 10 mM EDTA to stop the reaction. The proportion of substrate and product (phosphorylated) peptide is analysed on a Caliper Life Sciences Lab Chip 3000, using a pressure of -1.4 psi, and upstream and downstream voltages of -3000 and -700 respectively. Product peaks are resolved before substrate peaks on the resulting chromatograms.
