| | Aurora B Kinase Test |
| Description: | Recombinant human Aurora B (amino acids 1-344, clone number DU1773, Molecular weight 40.2 kDa, University of Dundee) was expressed as a fusion protein with an N-terminal His tag, affinity-purified and deep-frozen at a concentration of approx. 0.25-0.5 mg/ml in storage buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8; 25 mM Na- -glycerophosphat; 0.1 mM EGTA; 150 mM NaCl; 0.03% Brij-35; 1 mM DTT and 10% glycerol) at −80° C. until use.The activity of the Aurora B kinase protein was determined using the ADP Glo Luminescence Kinase test (Promega; V9103X). In this homogeneous test the amount of ADP remaining after the kinase reaction is quantified by a luciferin-luciferase reaction using luminescence. The luminescence signal obtained correlates with the amount of ADP still present and thus correlates with the activity of the protein kinase.MethodThe test compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM and diluted in DMSO to a concentration of 5 mM. Serial Dilution is done in 1:10 steps in 100% DMSO. All further dilutions of the substances were carried out with test buffer (50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 60 μM Ultra Pure ATP, 0.01% Brij35, 0.1% BSA, 5 mM 3-Glycerophosphate) until a concentration was reached which was 2.5 times above the final test concentration (final concentration of the compounds: 50 μM to 0.005 nM). 4 μl aliquots of these dilutions were transferred into a 384-well Optiplate (Perkin Elmer, #6007290). His-Aurora B was diluted to 125 nM in the test buffer and 4 μl of this dilution were used in the kinase test (final concentration of Aurora B=50 nM in a total volume of 10 μl). After 15 minutes incubation at room temperature 2 μl of 250 μM substrate ([LRRLSLGLRRLSLGLRRLSLGLRRLSLG]; University of Dundee) in test buffer were added to each well and the incubation was continued for a further 60 minutes at room temperature.Positive controls are the reaction mixtures that contain no test substance; negative controls (blanks) are reaction mixtures that contain no kinase.After 60 minutes, 10 μl ADP-Glo solution (ADP-Glo Reagent #V912B Promega) (heated to room temperature) were added to each well and incubation was continued for a further 40. minutes. Then 20 μl Kinase detection mix (Detection Buffer #V913B Promega; Kinase Detection Substrate #V914B Promega) were added and incubated for 40 minutes at room temperature. The plates were read in Envision Luminescence Reader (Perkin-Elmer). |
