| Description: | All four kinases of the JAK/TYK-kinase family were used as purified recombinant GST-fusion proteins, containing the active kinase domains. GST-JAK1(866-1154), GST-JAK3(811-1124), and GST-TYK2(888-1187) were expressed and purified by affinity chromatography at the EPK biology unit.The kinase assays were based on the Caliper mobility shift assay using the LabChip 3000 systems. This technology is similar to capillary electrophoresis and uses charge driven separation of substrate and product in a microfluidic chip.All kinase reactions were performed in 384 well microtiter plates in a total reaction volume of18 μI. The assay plates were prepared with 0.1 μI per well of test compound in the appropriate test concentration, as described under the section preparation of compound dilutions . The reactions were started by combining 9 μI of substrate mix (consisting of peptide and ATP) with 9 μI of kinase dilution. The reactions were incubated for 60 minutes at 30° C. and stopped by adding 70 μI of stop buffer (100 mM Hepes, 5% DMSO, 0.1% Coating reagent, 10 mM EDTA, 0.015% Brij 35).Fluorescently labeled synthetic peptides were used as substrates in all reactions. A peptide derived from the sequence of IRS-1 (IRS-1 peptide, FITC-Ahx-KKSRGDYMTMQIG-NH2) was used for JAK1 and TYK2 and a peptide named JAK3tide (FITC-GGEEEEYFELVKKKK-NH2) for JAK3 |
