Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  CDK4/Cyclin D1 and CDK6/Cyclin D3 Biochemical Assay
Description:  Compounds disclosed herein were tested for inhibition of CDK4/Cyclin D1 or CDK6/Cyclin D3 kinase in an assay based on the time-resolved fluorescence-resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) methodology. The assay was carried out in 384-well low volume black plates in a reaction mixture containing CDK4/Cyclin D1 or CDK6/Cyclin D3, 1 mM ATP, 0.15 μM Rb (Ser780)-biotin substrate and 0-10 CM compound in buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH7.0, 0.02% NaN3, 0.01% BSA, 0.1 mM Orthovanadate, 50 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT and 0.005% Tween-20. The kinase was incubated with compound for 60 minutes at room temperature and the reaction was initiated by the addition of ATP and Rb (Ser780)-biotin 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 Bioassays). The stop/detection solution contained Streptavidin-XL665 and Anti-pRb (Ser780) mAb-Eu Cryptate in Detection buffer (Cisbio Bioassays). Plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes, and the TR-FRET signals (ex337 nm, em665 nm/620 nm) were recorded on a PHERAstar FSX plate reader (BMG Labtech). The inhibition percentage of CDK4/Cyclin D1 or CDK6/Cyclin D3 kinase activity in presence of increasing concentrations of compounds was calculated based on the ratio of fluorescence at 665 nm to that at 620 nm.
