Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Assay
Description:  The c-kit mutant D816V (or kinase domain thereof) is an active kinase in AlphaScreen. IC50 values are determined with respect to inhibition of c-Kit mutant D816V kinase activity, where inhibition of phosphorylation of a peptide substrate is measured as a function of compound concentration. Compounds to be tested were dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 30 mM. These were diluted 30 ml into 130 ml of DMSO (4 mM) and 1 μl was added to an assay plate. These were then serially diluted 1:3 (50 μl to 100 ml DMSO) for a total of 8 points. Plates were prepared such that each kinase reaction is 30 ml in 1× kinase buffer (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 8 mM MgCl2, 2 mM MnCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.01% Brij, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA), 5% DMSO and 10 μM ATP. Substrate was 30 nM biotin-(E4Y)10 (EMD Millipore, Cat#12-440). C-kit mutant D816V kinase was at 0.75 ng per sample. After incubation of the kinase reaction for 30 minutes at room temperature, 5 μl of donor beads (Streptavidin coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 7.5 μg/ml) in stop buffer (25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100 mM EDTA, 0.01% BSA) was added, the sample was mixed and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature before adding 5 ml of acceptor beads (PY30 coated beads (Perkin Elmer Life Science) final concentration 7.5 μg/ml) in stop buffer.
