Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Lantha Screen Eu Kinase Activity Assay
Description:  The effects of compounds on the kinases DDR1 and DDR2 were assessed by using a Lantha Screen Eu kinase activity assay technology (Invitrogen, USA). Kinase reactions are performed in a 10 uL volume in low-volume 384-well plates. The kinases in reaction buffer consist of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRU-35, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA, the concentration of Fluorescein-Poly GAT substrate (Invitrogen, USA) in the assay is 100 nM. Kinase reactions were initiated with the addition of 100 nM ATP in the presence of serials of dilutions of compounds. The reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 h at room temperature before a 10 uL preparation of EDTA (20 mM) and Eu-labeled antibody (4 nM) in TR-FRET dilution buffer are added. The final concentration of antibody in the assay well is 2 nM, and the final concentration of EDTA is 10 mM. The plate is allowed to incubate at room temperature for one more hour before the TR-FRET emission ratios of 665 nm/340 nm were acquired on a PerkinElmer EnVision multilabel reader (Perkin-Elmer, Inc.). Data analysis and curve fitting were performed using GraphPad Prism4 software, resulting in the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) shown in table 1. The functional assays of compounds on the kinase activities of c-kit and Abl were determined using the FRET-based Z'-Lyte assay system according to the manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen, USA). Tyrosine 2 peptide was used as Abl substrate, and Ser/Thr 6 peptide was used as the substrate for c-kit. The reactions were carried out in 384-well plates in a 10 uL of reaction volume with appropriate amount of kinases in 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 Mm MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, and 0.01% Brij-35. The reactions were incubated 1 h at room temperature in the presence of 2 uM of substrate with 10 uM of ATP (for Abl1 assays) or 300 uM of ATP (kit assay) and in the presence of various concentrations of the compounds.
