Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SOS1 GDP TR-FRET Assay
Description:  This assay was used to identify compounds which competitively interact with the binding of KRAS protein to SOS1 in the presence of GDP. GST-tagged WT KRAS (amino acids 1-188), GST-tagged KRAS (amino acids 1-188) G12D and His- tagged SOS1 protein (amino acids 564-1049) was expressed in E. coli and purified. All protein and reaction solutions were prepared in assay buffer containing DPBS pH7.5, 0.1% BSA, and 0.05% Tween 20. Purified GST-tagged WT KRAS or KRAS G12D protein (37.5 nM final assay concentration) and GDP (Sigma, 10 μM final assay concentration) mixture, a serially diluted compound (top final concentration is 50 uM or 10 uM, 3-fold serially diluted, 10 points) and His-tagged SOS1 protein (18 nM final assay concentration) were added into the assay plates (384 well microplate, black, Corning) sequentially. Plates are incubated at 24° C. for 1 hr. Following the incubation, Mab Anti-6His-Tb cryptate (Cisbio) and Mab Anti GST-D2 (Cisbio) were added and further incubated at 24° C. for another 1 hr. The TR-FRET signals (ex337nm, em665nm/620nm) were read on BMG PHERAstar FSX instrument. The inhibition percentage of KRAS protein binding with SOS1 in presence of increasing concentrations of compounds was calculated based on the ratio of fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 620 nm.
