| | Syk Kinase Test |
| Description: | Recombinant human Syk (amino acids 342-635) was expressed as a fusion protein with an N-terminal GST tag, affinity-purified and deep-frozen at a concentration of approx. 50-100 μM in storage buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.5; 25 mM MgCl2; 5 mM MnCl2; 50 mM KCl; 0.2% BSA; 0.01% CHAPS; 100 μM Na3VO4; 0.5 mM DTT, 10% glycerol) at −80° C. until use.The catalytic activity of the GST-Syk kinase fusion protein was determined using the Kinase Glo Luminescence Kinase test (Promega; V6712). In this homogeneous test the amount of ATP remaining after the kinase reaction is quantified by a luciferin-luciferase reaction using luminescence. The luminescence signal obtained correlates with the amount of ATP still present and thus correlates inversely with the activity of the kinase.MethodThe test compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and diluted in DMSO to a concentration of 1 mM. Serial Dilution is done in 100% DMSO. All further dilutions of the substances were carried out with test buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.5; 25 mM MgCl2; 5 mM MnCl2; 50 mM KCl; 0.2% HSA; 0.01% CHAPS; 100 μM Na3VO4; 0.5 mM DTT). Dilution steps and concentration range were adapted according to need. 7 μl aliquots of these dilutions were transferred into a 384-well Optiplate (Perkin Elmer, #6007290). GST-Syk was diluted to 12 nM in the test buffer and 5 μl of this dilution were used in the kinase test (final concentration of Syk=4 nM in a total volume of 15 μl). After 15 minutes incubation at room temperature 3 μl of a mixture of 750 nM ATP and 100 μg/ml poly (L-Glutamic acid L-Tyrosine 4:1), Fluka #81357) in test buffer were added to each well and the incubation was continued for a further 60 minutes at room temperature.Positive controls are the reaction mixtures that contain no test substance; negative controls (blanks) are reaction mixtures that contain no kinase.After 60 minutes, 10 μl Kinase-Glo solution (Promega, Cat. # V6712) (heated to room temperature) were added to each well and incubation was continued for a further 15 minutes. The plates were read in Envision Luminescence Reader (Perkin-Elmer). |
