Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Kinase Activity Assay (NADH Read-Out)
Description:  Recombinant human c-Met protein (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA) is used. As substrate for the kinase reaction the peptide KKKSPGEYVNIEFG (JPT, Germany) is used. For the assay, 1 μL of a 51-fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO is pipetted into a white 384-well microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). 25 μL of a solution of c-Met (final concentration 30 nM) and pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany; final concentration 8 mg/L) in assay buffer [3-(N-morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS), 50 mM, pH 7; MgCl2, 10 mM; bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.01%; Triton X 100, 0.01%; DTT, 2 mM] are added, and the mixture is incubated for 5 min at room temperature. Then, the kinase reaction is started by the addition of 25 μL of a solution of adenosine triphosphate (ATP, final concentration 30 μM), substrate (final concentration 100 μM), nicotinamide adenine dinucleo-tide (NADH, final concentration 50 μM) and dithiothreitol (DTT, final concentration 2 mM) in assay buffer, and the resulting mixture is incubated for a reaction time of 100 min at 32° C. Subsequently, the amount of phosphorylated substrate is evaluated by measurement of the decrease of NADH fluorescence. Therefore, the fluorescence emissions at 465 nm after excitation at 340 nm is measured in a fluorescence reader, e.g. Tecan Ultra (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland).
