| | Inhibition of ALK5 Kinase Phosphorylation |
| Description: | The kinase activity of ALK5 was assessed by measuring radiolabelled phosphate[33P] incorporation into the generic substrate, casein. The kinase domain of human ALK5 (200th to 503th amino acids) was fused to the N-terminal GST/histidine tag and the kinase construct was engineered to be expressed from insect cells. The purified ALK5 protein was mixed with the casein substrate (final concentration, 2 mg/mL), and reaction buffer (containing 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.02% Brij35, 0.02 mg/ml BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT and 1% DMSO) was added thereto. DMSO solution of each test compound of formula (I) having different concentrations was prepared using pure DMSO, and each solution was delivered to the reaction mixture. 33P-ATP (specific activity 0.01 μCi/μl final) was delivered into the reaction mixture thus obtained for initiating the reaction, followed by incubation at room temperature for 2 hours. After incubation, the reaction solution was spotted onto P81 ion exchange paper, the paper was washed extensively with 0.75% phosphoric acid. Then, the paper was air-dried and counted. |
