| Description: | For the Rheb-dependent in vitro kinase assay, HA-GST-Rheb was first loaded with GTP-γ-S (Millipore #20-176) by incubating 600 ng/μL Rheb with 10 mM EDTA and 0.4 mM GTP-γ-S at 30° C. for 10 minutes. MgCl2 was added to a final concentration of 20 mM to stop the reaction. This mixture was used at 20× in the kinase assay.Loaded HA-GST-Rheb was then incubated with compound (final DMSO concentration 1%) for 30 minutes at room temperature. mTORC1, GFP-4E-BP1 substrate (Life Technologies #PV4759), and kinase assay buffer (HEPES pH 7.4, KCl, MgCl2) were added to the Rheb-compound mixture and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. ATP was then added, and the kinase reaction proceeded at 30° C. for 45 min before being stopped by the addition of SDS-PAGE loading buffer for Westerns or 10 mM EDTA for the LanthaScreen readout. During the kinase reaction, the final concentration of reagents is as follows: Rheb 30 ng/μL, compound variable, GTPγS 0.02 mM, EDTA 0.5 mM, MgCl2 1 mM, mTORC1 fixed volume of prep (molarity unknown), GFP-4E-BP1 substrate 15 ng/μL, ATP 0.5 mM. For LanthaScreen analysis (Thermo Fisher #PV4757), the manufacturer's instructions were followed and conditions were optimized for the amount of Rheb and mTORC1. The final concentration of reagents was as follows: 100 nM loaded HA-GST-Rheb, compound (variable), 0.5 mM EDTA, 10 mM MgCl2, 25 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 50 mM KCl, mTORC1 (fixed volume 0.1 μL in 10 μL total volume), 0.4 μM GFP-4E-BP1 substrate, 0.5 mM ATP. Optimization is summarized in FIG. 1. Results were read on an EnVision reader (PerkinElmer) using 495ex/520em filters (Life Technologies, #PV00315). |
