| Comments: | Assay Overview: The purpose of this assay is to determine dose response curves for compounds identified as active in a previous set of experiments entitled, "Primary cell-based high-throughput screening assay to measure PERK inhibition" (PubChem AID 1416). This assay also serves as a counterscreen for a previous set of experiments entitled, "Dose response cell-based high-throughput screening assay to measure PERK inhibition" (PubChem AID 1522), since it employs a shorter incubation time (6 hours) to overcome possible compound cytotoxicity. The assay employs a CHO cell line that stably expresses PERK's cytoplasmic kinase domain fused to a modified dimerization domain (DD). Treatment of the cells with the ligand AP20187 induces dimerization of the DD domains, leading to PERK kinase activation, eIF2a phosphorylation, and repression of protein translation. Stable co-expression of a plasmid encoding secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) enables protein translation to be monitored using | |
