| | mTOR Kinase Activity Assay |
| Description: | The inhibition of the mTOR protein kinase activity by the compounds was determined by the enzymatic activity assay in vitro. The detection kit supplied by Invitrogen was used to detect the inhibition of the activity of the mTOR protease. The principle of the assay was as follows: mTOR kinase, fluorescein-labeled substrate and ATP were mixed, and after the reaction, EDTA and terbium-labeled first antibody were added. During the chemical reaction process of the mTOR kinase, the antibody recognized the phosphorylated and fluorescein-labeled substrate, and then the time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) effect was enhanced. TR-FRET effect was calculated as the ratio of signals from the acceptor fluorescein to signals from the donor terbium. The amount of the antibody bound to the tracer was directly proportional to the amount of the phosphorylated substrate after the reaction. In this way, the kinase activity can be detected. In this assay, the substrate of the mTOR kinase was green fluorescent protein-coupled 4E binding protein 1 (GFP-4EBP1). |
