Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical CaMK1D Enzymatic Activity Assay
Description:  The following describes an ADP-Glo Kinase Assay, which measures the ADP formed from a kinase reaction; the ADP generated is converted into ATP and is used to generate light in a luciferase reaction. The assay is used to assess the effect of compounds on the activity of purified CaMK1 D.Materials and Solutions:All reagents are from Sigma-Aldrich unless otherwise specified. ADP-Glo Kinase Assay (Promega, V9102). His-tagged CaMK1D_1-385 (Fisher Scientific, PR6770A). Autocamtide-2 (SignalChem, A15-58). Calmodulin (Merck, 208694). 1M Tris-HCl pH7.5 (Fisher Scientific, 10123722). 1M DTT (Fisher Scientific, 10674545). Calcium chloride (C1016). Magnesium Chloride (M8266). DMSO (D8418). Autocamtide-2 provided as a lyophilised powder and prepared as a 10 mM stock in MilliQ water. RB: 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 CaCl2), just prior to use 1M DTT was added to a final concentration of 2 mM.Assay Protocol: 7.88 μL reaction mixture (including: calmodulin, Autocamtide-2, CaMK1 D in RB) was incubated with 12 μL test compound in 100% DMSO. To start the reaction 4 μL of ATP mixture were added. Final assay concentrations: 3 nM CaMK1D, 1 μM Calmodulin, 125 μM Autocamtide-2 and 10 μM ATP. Plates were incubated at 25C for 2 hours prior to the 1:1 addition of ADP-Glo reagent. Plates were incubated for a further 1 hour prior to the 1:1 addition of ADP-Glo substrate. After 30 minutes plates read with the EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader, using Luminescence 700. Compound IC50 was determined using a 4-parameter equation and are reported in nM.
