Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition of KRASG12C and cRAF Binding
Description:  The AlphaScreen technology was used to determine IC50s for compound inhibition of KRAS G12C (present as the Cys-light (C51S, C80L and C118S), truncated version comprising amino acids 1-169) and cRAF interaction. Compounds were diluted in 100% DMSO and each compound concentration was spotted at 200 nl/well onto low volume, white 384 well plates. The KRAS G12C contained a biotin-AviTag and the cRaf, as Ras-binding domain (amino acids 50-131, RBD), was GST-tagged. KRAS G12C was preloaded with the GTP analogue Guanosine 5′-[β, γ-imido]triphosphate (GMPPNP). The KRAS G12C was diluted in 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% TritonX-100 and 10 μM GMPPNP and added at 10 ul/well to compound-spotted plates resulting in a DMSO concentration of 2%. Plates were incubated for 19-20 hours. A mixture of RBD and the AlphaScreen streptavidin donor and glutathione acceptor beads diluted in 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.01% TritonX-100 and 2% DMSO was then added at 10 ul/well and incubated for 60-90 minutes before the samples were read for emission at 570 nm after excitation of the donor beads at 680 nm. All incubations were performed at room temperature. The final top compound concentration was 50 μM with 1:3 titrations for 10-point dose response curves. Final assay conditions were 0.5 nM KRAS G12C, 0.75 nM RBD and 5 μg/ml each of AlphaScreen donor and acceptor beads. IC50s were determined using nonlinear regression fit of [inhibitor]vs. response (4 parameters).
