| | ALPK1 in vitro Kinase Assay |
| Description: | ALPK1 kinase activity was measured in an in vitro assay using ADP-Heptose as the ALPK1 ligand and activator of its kinase activity and TIFA protein as the ALPK1 phosphorylation substrate. Since phosphorylated TIFA proteins oligomerize, Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) was used to measure protein: protein interaction between HA-tagged TIFA proteins as an indicator of TIFA phosphorylation. In brief, dose-response studies were performed in 384-well assay plates. Each well contained 0.1 mg TIFA, ALPK1 (2 nM final concentration in reaction mixture) and kinase buffer (100 mM of HEPES pH 7.4, 4 mM DTT, 40 mM MgCl2, 20 mM of β-Glycerol phosphate disodium salt, 0.4 mM of Na3VO4, 0.16 mg/mL). Titrations of the test compounds were prepared in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO). The reaction was initiated by addition of ATP and ADP-Heptose.For HTRF, samples were incubated with a Tb cryptate-labeled anti-HA antibody for capturing HA-tagged proteins according to the manufacturer's instructions (PerkinElmer™, CisBio™) and the fluorescence signal was quantified (Tecan Infinite F NANO+). HTRF signals were calculated as the HTRF ratio (ratio of fluorescence measured at 665 nm and 620 nm)×104 (thereby using the signal at 620 nm as an internal standard). |
