Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  LanthaScreen Eu kinase binding assay
Description:  To determine whether compounds bind to RAF kinases, they are tested in a competition binding assay. The Invitrogen LanthaScreen Eu binding assay involves the binding of an Alexa-Fluor 647-labelled, ATP-competitive kinase tracer to the kinase of interest. A Europium-labelled anti-tag antibody also binds to the kinase of interest. Simultaneous binding of the tracer and the antibody brings them into close proximity and upon excitation at 340 nm, triggers fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the Europium donor fluorophore on the antibody and the Alexa Fluor 647 acceptor on the tracer. The dual emission signal produced can be measured at 665 and 615 nm.Compounds at a concentration of 3 mM are serially diluted (e.g. 10 μl 90 μl of 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) seven times in 96-well plates for a total of 8 dilution points. Each DMSO dilution is further diluted 1:100 in kinase buffer (e.g. 5 μl into 495 μl kinase buffer) containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Brij-35.Each well in a 96-well Optiplate (Perkin Elmer 6005569) contains 30 μl of final volume per sample, including 10 μl compound at 3× the desired concentration, providing 10 μM at the final maximum concentration, 10 μl of kinase/antibody mixture at 3× the desired concentration of RAF recombinant kinases and antibody providing 5 nM final concentration of B-RAFV600E kinase (Invitrogen PV3849) and 3 nM final concentration of C-RAF Y340D/Y341D kinase (Invitrogen PV3805) and 2 nM final concentration of Eu-anti-GST antibody (PV5594), and 10 μl of 3× the desired concentration of kinase tracer 178 (Invitrogen PV5593) providing final concentrations of 20 nM tracer for B-RAFV600E kinase and 6 nM tracer for C-RAF kinase. The plates are incubated for 5 hours at room temperature and read on an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer). All data are analysed using the GraphPad Prism software package. Inhibition of tracer binding to the kinase of interest is assessed by determination of IC50 value, which is defined as the concentration of compound which decreased the level of FRET signal measured at 665 nm by 50%.
