| | CDK4/CyclinD1 Enzymatic Activity Assay |
| Description: | The inhibitory activity of compounds was evaluated in vitro using TR-FRET assay with white 384-well low volume microplate (Greiner Bio-One). CDK4/Cyclin D1 catalyzed phosphorylation of peptide in the presence and absence of compounds was measured and used in IC50 determination. Recombinant protein complex CDK4/Cyclin D1, expressed from insect cell, was purchased from ProQinase. Testing compounds were dissolved in DMSO at 1 mM and tested in 9-dose IC50 mode. The reaction mixture was prepared by mixing CDK4/CyclinD1 (1 nM final), ULight-4E-BP1 (100 nM final, Perkinelmer, TRF0128-D), and ATP (2 mM final) in assay buffer (20 mM of HEPES pH 7.4, 1 mM of EGTA, 0.05% BSA, 0.005% Tween 20, and 1 mM TCEP). The compound of interest in DMSO was added to each well in 3-fold serial dilution by dispenser (TECAN D300E) to make a 9.9 μL of reaction mixture. After 20 minutes preincubation at room temperature, 0.1 μL MgCl2(10 mM final) was added to initiate the reaction. Following a 45 minutes incubation at 37° C., the reaction was stopped by addition of 2 μL of quenching buffer consisting of Lance detection buffer (Perkinelmer CR97-100C), LANCE Ultra Europium-anti-P-4E-BP1 (Perkinelmer, TRF0216-D), EDTA, and incubate at room temperature for additional 60 minutes in dark. The reaction signal was measured by Envision multimode plate reader (PerkinElmer, 2102-0010). |
