| Description: | A kinase dilution solution containing 20 ng/ml Mer (the 528th to 999th amino acids of the intracellular domain of human MER expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione transferase in a baculovirus expression system and purified by glutathione Sepharose chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography; Carna Biosciences, Inc., catalog No. 08-108) was prepared using a kinase reaction buffer solution (100 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 0.003% Brij-35, 0.004% Tween-20, 1 mM DTT, and 10 mM MgCl2) and added at 19 μl/well to a 384-well plate.Next, each test compound was diluted with DMSO, and this dilution solution was added at 1 μl/well to the plate.After preincubation at room temperature for 20 minutes, a solution containing a substrate peptide (FL-Peptide 27 (5FAM-EFPIYDFLPAKKK-CONH2), Caliper Life Sciences, catalog No. 760424) and ATP at 5 mM was prepared and added at 5 μl/well to the plate to start kinase reaction. The plate was incubated at 28° C. for 45 minutes, and the reaction was terminated by the addition of a termination buffer solution (100 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 0.015% Brij-35, 40 mM EDTA, and 0.1% Coating Reagent 3) at 40 μl/well.The substrate peptide and the phosphorylated peptide in the reaction mixture were separated and quantified using EZ Reader II (Caliper Life Sciences).The kinase reaction was evaluated on the basis of a product ratio (P/(P+S)) calculated from the peak height (S) of the substrate peptide and the peak height (P) of the phosphorylated peptide.The rate of inhibition (Inhibition) was determined according to the following expression (automatically calculated using the software of the EZ Reader II system). |
