| Description: | EGFR activity was measured using KinEASE (Cisbio), a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay. In this assay, EGFR-catalyzes the phosphorylation of a universal Tyrosine kinase peptide substrate labeled with XL665. Europium conjugated phosphor-tyrosine specific antibody binds the resulting phosphorylated peptide. Formation of phosphorylated peptide is quantified by TR-FRET with Europium as the donor and XL665 the acceptor. The assay was performed in two main steps. The first step is the kinase reaction step and the second step is the detection step with TR-FRET reagents. In brief, test compounds 1:3 serially diluted in DMSO were delivered into Corning white, low volume, non-binding 384 well plates using the Echo 550 acoustic liquid dispenser (Labcyte ). EGFR enzyme (Human EGFR, cytoplasmic domain [669-1210] from Carna Biosciences Cat. No. 08-115) and substrates TK substrate-biotin (included in Cisbio HTRF KinEASE-TK kit Cat. No. 62TK0PEJ) were dispensed into assay plates using a Multi-Flo (Bio-Tek Instruments). The standard 10 μL reaction mixture contained 6 μM ATP (1×Km) or 12 μM ATP (2×Km), 1 μM biotinylated peptide, 0.3 nM EGFR (for 1×Km ATP) or 0.1 nM EGFR (for 2×Km ATP) in reaction buffer (10 mM MOPs, pH 7.0, 1.5% Glycerol, 0.5 mg/ml BSA, 10 mM Mg-Acetate, 1 mM DTT, 0.025% NP-40). After 60 min of incubation at room temperature, 10 μL of Stop and Detect Solution (1:400 Europium Cryptate labeled anti-phosphorylated peptide antibody solution and 125 nM strepavidin-XL665 Tracer in a 50 mM Hepes pH 7.0 detection buffer containing sufficient EDTA) was added. The plate was then further incubated for over 60 minutes at room temperature and read using an Envision 2103 Multilabeled reader (PerkinElmer) with excitation/emission/FRET emission at 340 nm/615 nm/665 nm, respectively. |
