Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  LanthaScreen Kinase Assay
Description:  The BRAFV600E enzymatic assay was performed using a LanthaScreen kinase assay kit purchased from Life Technologies (Grand Island, N.Y.). The assay was conducted according to the procedure provided in the assay kit. In brief, the enzyme reaction was carried out in the kinase reaction buffer containing BRAFV600E (20 ng/mL), ATP (2 uM), Fluorescein-MAP2K1 inactive substrate (0.4 uM), HEPES (50 mM, pH 7.5), 0.01% BRIJ-35, MgCl2 (10 mM), and EGTA (1 mM) in the presence or absence of the tested compounds at various concentrations in a 384-well plate at room temperature (22±1° C.) for 60 minutes. The final reaction volume for each reaction was 10 ul. The reaction was stopped by addition of 10 ul of TR-FRET dilution buffer kinase supplemented with kinase quench buffer (10 mM final) and Tb-anti-pMAP2K1 (2 nM final). The plate was further incubated at room temperature for another 60 minutes, and the fluorescent signals were read on Victor 5 (Perkin Elmer) with excitation at 340 nM and emission at 495 and 520 nM. The assay signal was determined as a ratio of FRET-specific signal measured with emission filter at 520 nM to that of the signal measured with Tb-specific emission filter at 495 nM. IC50 value was calculated using appropriate programs in GraphPad Prism by plotting the logarithm of the concentration versus percent inhibition.
