| Description: | A PDK1 kinase assay was performed as follows. PDK1 (amino acids 51-360) and AKT2 (amino acids 140-467 fused to PIFtide, amino acids EEQEMFRDFDYIADW) were expressed as N-terminally tagged GST fusion proteins in insect cells and purified to greater than 90% homogeneity. PDK1 protein was divided into two fractions, one of which was subsequently dephosphorylated. To generate dephosphorylated PDK1, the PDK1 was reacted with GST-tagged lambda-phosphatase in vitro. GST was subsequently cleaved proteolytically for both phosphorylated and dephosphorylated PDK1. Protein preparations were run on glutathione Sepharose columns to remove GST and GST-tagged lambda-phosphatase, if present. Phosphorylated PDK1 and dephosphorylated PDK1 were verified by mass-spectrometry. Enzyme activity was determined in a coupled PDK1/AKT/FAM-crosstide assay using either phosphorylated or unphosphorylated PDK1 and phosphorylation of FAM-crosstide was determined by standard IMAP protocol (Molecular Devices). For inhibition studies, compounds were titrated 3-fold in DMSO and diluted 40-fold into assay buffer (10 mM Tris HCl pH7.2; 10 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Triton X-100; 1 mM DTT) containing PDK1, AKT2, and FAM-crosstide. (final concentrations: 25 nM un-phosphorylated PDK1 or 0.5 nM phosphorylated PDK1, 30 nM unphosphorylated AKT2, and 100 nM crosstide substrate). The kinase reaction was initiated by adding ATP to a final concentration of 24 μM for both forms of PDK1 and incubated at 25° C. for 30 min. To detect assay product, the kinase reaction was combined with Progressive Binding Solution (1:600 Progressive Binding Reagent, 50% Buffer A, 50% Buffer B, Molecular Devices) in a 1:3 ratio. The mixture was incubated for 2 hours at 25° C. and the plate was scanned on an Analyst AD with excitation at 485 nm and emission at 530 nm. |
