Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Aurora-A, Aurora-B, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 Enzyme Assays
Description:  The inhibitory activity of compounds against AURKA, AURKB, JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3 was determined in Z'-LYTE assays run by ThermoFisher Scientific as part of their SelectScreen Biochemical Kinase Profiling Service. The Z'-LYTE biochemical assay format employs a fluorescence-based, coupled-enzyme format and is based on the differential sensitivity of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptides to proteolytic cleavage. The peptide substrate is labeled with two fluorophores one at each end that make up a FRET pair. In the primary reaction, the kinase transfers the gamma-phosphate of ATP to a single tyrosine, serine or threonine residue in a synthetic FRET-peptide. In the secondary reaction, a site-specific protease recognises and cleaves non-phosphorylated FRET-peptides. Phosphorylation of FRET-peptides suppresses cleavage by the Development Reagent. Cleavage disrupts FRET between the donor (i.e., coumarin) and acceptor (i.e., fluorescein) fluorophores on the FRET-peptide, whereas uncleaved, phosphorylated FRET-peptides maintain FRET. A ratiometric method, which calculates the ratio (the Emission Ratio) of donor emission to acceptor emission after excitation of the donor fluorophore at 400 nm, is used to quantitate reaction progress. Both cleaved and uncleaved FRET-peptides contribute to the fluorescence signals and therefore to the Emission Ratio. The extent of phosphorylation of the FRET-peptide can be calculated from the Emission Ratio. The Emission Ratio will remain low if the FRET-peptide is phosphorylated (i.e., no kinase inhibition) and will be high if the FRET-peptide is non-phosphorylated (i.e., kinase inhibition).10 point three-fold dilution compound concentration-response curves, with a top concentration of 10 μM were generated from 10 mM stocks of compound solubilised in DMSO. All assays were performed in black, non-binding, low volume Corning 384-well plates (cat. #4514, Corning), in a total reaction volume of 10 μL and 1% (v/v) final DMSO concentration. 2.4 μL Kinase Buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA), 5 μL 2× Peptide/Kinase mixture (detailed below for each kinase) and 2.5 μL 4×ATP Solution (prepared in Kinase Buffer) were added separately to the compound plates, placed on a plate shaker for 30 sec, and then incubated for 60 mins at room temperature. The kinase reaction was then quenched by the addition of 5 μL of Development Reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific proprietary). Assay plates were placed on a plate shaker for 30 sec, incubated for 60 mins at room temperature, and then read using a fluorescence plate reader. IC50 values were calculated using XLfit software (IDBS Ltd, Surrey, UK), with the curve fit to model number 205 (sigmoidal dose-response model).
