Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Kinase Assay
Description:  In vitro enzymatic activity of the CDK isoforms CDK2/CycA2, CDK4/CycD3 and CDK6/cycD3 were measured using Mobility Shift Assay that monitors phosphorylation ratio of FAM labelled peptide (Peptide 18 for CDK2/CycA2, Peptide 8 for CDK4/CycD3 and CDK6/cycD3). CDK2/CycA2 and CDK6/cycD3 were assayed under buffer conditions in the presence of 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.0015% Brij-35, and 2 mM dithiothreitol, CDK4/CycD3 with buffer condition of 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Triton X-100, and 2 mM dithiothreitol. Prepare compounds to 50× of the final desired highest inhibitor concentration by 100% DMSO and serial dilution in 3-fold for total of 10 concentrations. For each isoform, dosage of enzyme and substrate are CDK2/CycA2 12 nM, ATP Km 39 μM; CDK4/CycD3 10 nM, ATP Km 221 μM; CDK6/cycD3 15 nM, ATP Km 800 μM. After assay for 60 min, 180 min, 60 min respectively at 28° C., reactions were terminated with stop solution (50 mM EDTA, 0.015% Brij-35, 0.2% Coating Reagent #3 and 100 mM HEPES (pH 7.5)). Collect conversion on Caliper EZ Reader.
