| Description: | Table 3: The ability of test compounds to inhibit ASK1 kinase activity was determined using the luminescent ADP-Glo Kinase Assay and Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) as a substrate (Promega Corporation, Madison, Wis.). During the kinase reaction, ASK1 utilizes ATP and generates ADP. The remaining ATP is then depleted by addition of the ADP-Glo reagent which also terminates the reaction. Subsequent addition of the Kinase Detection Reagent converts the ADP that was produced during the kinase reaction to ATP, and this newly synthesized ATP is converted to light using the luciferase/luciferin reactions. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, purified, recombinant ASK1 (amino acids 649-946) (10-20 ng/well) was added to a 384-well, F bottom, small volume, HIbase, white plate (Greiner Bio-One, Monroe, N.C. #784075) containing 1-2 μL 5× test compound or vehicle control (diluted 1:20 from a 100% DMSO stock solution into 1× Reaction Buffer A). The enzyme was allowed to pre-incubate with test compound from 15-120 min at 30° C. before the addition of the ATP/substrate mix (final concentrations of 50 μM ATP+250 ng MBP in 1× Reaction Buffer A). The mixture was then incubated at room temperature for 40 min before the addition of of ADP-Glo reagent and a second 40 minute room temperature incubation. Following the addition of the Kinase Detection Reagent, the plate was incubated for an additional 40 min at room temperature before reading luminescence on a FlexStation 3 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). |
