Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  HPK Kinase Activity Assay at 1 mM ATP
Description:  Compounds disclosed herein were tested for inhibition of HPK1 kinase (aal-346. Life Technologies) activity in assays based on the time-resolved fluorescence-resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) methodology. The assays were carried out in 384-well low volume black plates in a reaction mixture containing HPK1 kinase (40 nM), 1 mM ATP, 0.5 μM STK1 substrate and 0-10 μM compound in buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, 0.01% BSA, 0.1 mM Orthovanadate, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, pH=7.0, 0.005% Tween-20. The kinase was incubated with the compounds disclosed herein or DMSO for 60 minutes at room temperature and the reaction was initiated by the addition of ATP and STK1 substrate. After reaction at room temperature for 120 minutes an equal volume of stop/detection solution was added according to the manufacture's instruction (CisBio). The stop/detection solution contained STY Antibody-Cryptate and XL665-conjugated streptavidin in Detection Buffer. The TR-FRET signals (ratio of fluorescence emission at 665 nm over emission at 620 nm with excitation at 337 nm wavelength) were recorded on a PHERAstar FS plate reader (BMG Labtech). Phosphorylation of STK1 substrate led to the binding of STK Antibody-Cryptate to the biotinylated STK1 substrate, which places fluorescent donor (Eu3+ crypate) in close proximity to the accepter (Streptavidin-XL665), thus resulting in a high degree of fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The inhibition of HPK1 in presence of increasing concentrations of compounds was calculated based on the ratio jo of fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 620 nm.
