Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Adapta Assay
Description:  CDK7 (cyclin H): IC50 values of compounds against CDK7 (cyclin H) were determined by Adapta™ Assay at Invitrogen Life Technologies (Grand Island, N.Y.) where total reaction volume was 10 μL/well in low volume, white 384-well plate (#4512, Corning). 0.100 μL of 100× test compound in 100% DMSO (at specific solutions) were mixed with 2.4 μL of HEPES (30 mM), 2.5 μL of 4×ATP solution (153 μM) and 5 μL of 2× Substrate/Kinase mixture (the 2×CDK7/cyclin H/MNAT1/CDK7/9tide mixture was prepared in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA). The final 10 μL Kinase Reaction consisted of 5-38.75 ng CDK7/cyclin H/MNAT1 and 200 μM CDK7/9tide in 32.5 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.005% BRIJ-35, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM EGTA. The plates were shaken for 30 seconds, centrifuged for 1 min at 1000×g, and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. 5 μL of Detection Mix (prepared in TR-FRET Dilution Buffer; the Detection mix consists of EDTA (30 mM), Eu-anti-ADP antibody (6 nM) and ADP tracer, and contains the EC60 concentration of tracer for 5-150 μM ATP) was added to the plates followed with another 30-second plate shake and centrifugation for 1 min at 1000×g, and the plates were further incubated at room temperature for one hour. The plates were read on fluorescence plate reader with Dual emission at 615 nm and 665 nm.
