Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Alpha Screen Assay
Description:  AKT1 activity was assayed using the GSK3-derived biotinylated peptide substrate, crosstide (biotin-GRPRTSSFAEG), and AlphaScreen (Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assay) technology. AKT1 activation was achieved by the addition of the activating kinases PDK1 and MAPKAPK2, lipid vesicles, and ATP. The extent of peptide phosphorylation was determined using a phospho-AKT substrate antibody and acceptor beads conjugated to Protein A and donor beads conjugated to streptavidin that bind to the biotin on the peptide. Excitation of the donor beads converted ambient oxygen to excited singlet oxygen which, when in close proximity to acceptor beads, reacted with acceptor beads resulting in signal amplification.
