| Description: | MRCKα, MRCKβ, ROCK1 and ROCK2 assays were performed using an IMAP fluorescence polarization assay format (Molecular Devices Inc.). 8-12 nM of each kinase (Life Technologies) was incubated for 60 min at room temperature with 100 nM FAM-S6-ribosomal protein derived peptide (synthesized by Alta Biosciences, University of Birmingham UK) in the presence of 1 μM ATP and 0.5 mM MgCl2 in 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.01% Tween-20 and 1 mM DTT (MRCKα and β); or 1 μM ATP, 10 mM MgCl2 in 20 mM Tris buffer (pH 7.5) containing 0.25 mM EGTA 0.01% Triton X-100 and 1 mM DTT (ROCK1 and ROCK2). Typically, dose response analyses were performed over concentration ranges from 0.005-100 μM. Reactions were stopped by adding 2 assay volumes of 0.25% (v/v) IMAP binding reagent in 1×IMAP binding buffer A (Molecular Devices). After 30 min incubation to allow binding reagent to bind phosphorylated peptide, fluorescence polarization was measured on a Tecan Saphire2 plate reader at excitation (470 nm) and emission (530 nm) wavelengths. Inhibition was calculated using no inhibitor and no enzyme controls as 0 and 100% inhibition, respectively. |
