Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Caliper Assay
Description:  In the applied method, this separation takes place inside a chip that contains a complex capillary system for simultaneous analysis of 12 samples ( 12-sipper chip , Caliper Technologies Corp., Mountain View, USA). In order to allow the detection and quantification of the peptides in the capillary system, the peptides carry a fluorescent label (fluorescein). With this label the peptides can be quantified by fluorescence intensity through the instruments laser and detection system (LC3000, Caliper Life Sciences).The assays were performed in 384-well, low volume microtiter assay plates in a final reaction volume of 9 ul. Dose-response curves were generated by incubating 10 nM of each kinase together with 2 μm of the fluorescently labeled substrate peptide 5-Fluo-Ahx-KKYQAEEN-T-YDEYENKK-amid (10 mM stock solution in DMSO) in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 0.02% Tween 20, 0.02% BSA, 1 mM DTT, 10 μm Na3VO4, 10 mM β-Glycerolphosphate, 1 mM MgCl2, 12 mM MnCl2 (ALK1 and ALK6 7 mM) and 15 μm ATP for 60 min at 30° C. in the presence or absence of compound diluted in DMSO.Kinase reaction were terminated by adding 15 ul STOP buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5% DMSO, 0.1% Caliper coating reagent, 10 mM EDTA, and 0.015% Brij35.Plates with terminated kinase reactions were transferred to the Caliper LC3000 workstation (Caliper Technologies Corp., Mountain View, USA) for reading. The relative amount of phosphorylated peptide r, was calculated using the heights of the substrate peak, s, and the product peak, p: r=p/(p+s).
