Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  A master mix minus Syk enzyme is prepared containing 1X Cell Signaling kinase buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 5 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 10 mM MgCl2), 0.5 μM Promega PTK Biotinylated peptide substrate 1, 0.01% casein, 0.01% Triton-X100, and 0.25% glycerol. A master mix plus Syk enzyme is prepared containing 1X Cell Signaling kinase buffer, 0.5 μM PTK Biotinylated peptide substrate 1, 0.01% casein, 0.01% Triton-X100, 0.25% glycerol and 0.4 ng/well Syk enzyme. Syk enzyme is purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies, expressed in baculovirus and is an N-terminally GST-tagged full length human wildtype Syk (accession number NM-00377).The Syk protein is purified in one step using glutathione-agarose. The purity of the final protein preparation is assessed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining. A solution of 200 μM ATP is prepared in water and adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1N NaOH. A quantity of 1.25 μL of compounds in 5% DMSO is transferred to a 96-well area Costar polystyrene plate.Compounds are tested singly and with an 11-point dose-responsive curve (starting concentration is 10-1 μM; 1:2 dilution). A quantity of 18.75 μL of master mix minus enzyme (as a negative control) and master mix plus enzyme is transferred to appropriate wells in 96-well area Costar polystyrene plate. 5 μL of 200 μM ATP is added to that mixture in the 96-well area Costar polystyrene plate for final ATP concentration of 40 μM.
