Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Enzymatic Assay
Description:  Compounds are screened for MNK inhibition using the ADP-Glo kinase assay kit (Promega, catalogue No. V9101). All kinase reactions are performed in Reaction Buffer E (15 mM HEPES pH7.4, 20 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BGG, and 0.02% Tween-20). Final MNK 1 reactions contained 10 nM recombinant MNK1 (Life Technologies, PR9138A), 100 μM MNK substrate peptide Ac-TATKSGSTTKNR-NH2 (American Peptide Company), 300 μM ATP, and varying concentrations of the inhibitory compound of interest. Final MNK2 reactions contained 3 nM recombinant MNK2 (Life Technologies, PV5607), 50 μM MNK substrate peptide Ac-TATKSGSTTKNR-NH2 (American Peptide Company), 10 μM ATP, and varying concentrations of the inhibitory compound of interest. Final DMSO concentration in each reaction is 1%.
