Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition of Enzymatic Syk Kinase Activity
Description:  2.5 μL of 10% DMSO or compound in 10% DMSO was added to the wells in a 96 well V-bottom plate. Optimized concentration of in-house Syk enzyme (different batches of Syk (356-635) kinase domain) were used at optimized concentrations) ranging from 0.035 ng to 7.5 ng/reaction diluted in assay buffer was added to a total volume of 12.5 μL). Compound and protein were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature on a plate shaker. Ten μL of a substrate mix containing 100 μM ATP (0.25 μL), γ-P32-ATP (0.1 μL; 10 μCi/μL), pG4T (0.25 μL; 10 mg/mL) and 1× assay buffer (9.4 μL) was added to all the wells. Samples were incubated at 30° C. for 10 minutes after mixing. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 8N HCl (13 μL) containing 100 mM ATP. Thirty μL of sample was transferred to the center of a 2×2 cm2 Whatman P81 chromatography paper. After allowing the sample to dry for one minute, the assay squares were washed 3 times for 5 minutes each in ortho-phosphoric acid (0.5%) and once in acetone. Assay squares were dried for 15 minutes in a 30° C. oven and transferred to 96 well optiplate. Microscint-O reagent (100 μL, Perkin Elmer) was added to each well, the plate was sealed with Topseal-A microplates and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature at very low speed on rocker and the plate was read in the Topcount NXL instrument.
