| | Transcreener-Fluorecescence Polarization Assay |
| Description: | Kinase activities were assayed using the Transcreener-Fluorecescence polarization platform (BelBrook Labs, Madison, Wis., USA) that measures amounts of the reaction product, ADP. The IRAK4 reaction conditions were optimized using an IRAK1-derived peptide (sequence H-KKARFSRFAGSSPSQSSMVAR) to provide a linear reaction rate over the course of a 90 min incubation, which resulted in 10-12% conversion of the starting ATP to ADP. Final IRAK4 assay conditions were 1.25 nM IRAK4; 125 μM ATP; 10 μM MgCl2; 125 μM peptide in reaction buffer (25 mM HEPES (pH7.4); 2 mM Dithiothreitol; 0.015% Brij-35; and 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide. The IRAK1 activity was optimized similarly, yielding final assay conditions of 1.5 nM IRAK1; 62.5 μM ATP; 5 μM MgCl2, and 62.5 μM IRAK1 peptide in reaction buffer for 60 min. |
