| Description: | The motor domain of the human kinesin spindle protein KSP/Eg5 (tebu-bio/Cytoskeleton Inc, No. 027EG01-XL) was incubated in a concentration of 10 nM with microtubuli (bovine or porcine, tebu-bio/Cytoskeleton Inc) stabilized with 50 μg/ml taxol (Sigma No. T7191-5MG) for 5 min at RT in 15 mM PIPES, pH 6.8 (5 mM MgCl2 and 10 mM DTT, Sigma). The freshly prepared mixture was aliquoted into a 384 MTP (Greiner bio-one REF 781096). The inhibitors to be examined at concentrations of 1.0×10-6 M to 1.0×10-13 M and ATP (final concentration 500 μM, Sigma) were then added. Incubation was at RT for 2 h. ATPase activity was detected by detecting the inorganic phosphate formed using malachite green (Biomol). After addition of the reagent, the assay was incubated at RT for 50 min prior to detection of the absorption at a wavelength of 620 nm. The positive controls used were monastrol (Sigma, M8515-1 mg) and ispinesib (AdooQ Bioscience A10486). The individual data of the dose-activity curve are eight-fold determinations. |
