Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Haspin Kinase Assay
Description:  The kinase assay relies on ADP-GloKM biochemical kinase assay (Promega). This is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction. Then ADP is converted into ATP, which is transformed into a light signal by Ultra-Glo Luciferase. The luminescent signal positively correlates with kinase activity. The assay measures the intrinsic ATPase activity (in the absence of peptidic substrate as phosphate acceptor).The enzyme was purchase from Invitrogen (PV5708) as the kinase domain of GST tagged recombinant human proteins.Assay conditions were as indicated by the kit manufacturers with the following adaptations:Assay buffer: 15 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 20 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Tween 20, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BGGAssay volume: 20 μlIncubation time and temperature: 60 min at 30° C.Haspin concentration: 20 nMATP concentration: 150 μMTested compound: Serial 1:3 dilutionsFinal DMSO concentration in the assay: 1%Assays were performed in 384-well plates. The final read out was generated using an EnVision plate reader (Perkin-Elmer). Luminescent relative units are normalized against the control activity included for each compound (i.e., 100% Haspin activity, without compound) and the percentage of inhibition is calculated.
