Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SOS-Catalyzed Nucleotide Exchange Assay
Description:  Each test compound (10 mM stock in DMSO) is diluted in DMSO to make a 10-point, 3-fold dilution series in a 384-well low dead volume microplate (Labcyte, catalog #LP-0200). Once titrations are made, 10 nL of the diluted compounds is acoustically dispensed into a 384-well plate (Corning, catalog #3820) using an Echo 550 (Labcyte). Each well of the plate receives 3 μL Biotinylated KRAS G12C mixture that had been incubating for six hours and 3 μL of assay buffer using a BioRAPTR (Beckman Coulter) and is incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. Each well then receives 3 μL of 240 nM recombinant human SOS protein and 9 mM GTP (Sigma, G8877) in assay buffer and is incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. The time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer signal of the plate is measured on an Envision (PerkinElmer) plate reader: Excitation filter=340 nm; emission1=495 nm; emission2=520 nm; dichroic mirror=D400/D505; delay time=100 μs. The signal of each well is determined as the ratio of the emission at 520 nm to that at 495 nm. Percent effect of each well is determined after normalization to control wells containing DMSO (no effect) or a saturating concentration of inhibitor (max effect). The apparent effect as a function of compound concentration is fit to a four parameter logistic equation.
