| Description: | To assess compounds capacity to inhibit ERK2 enzymatic activity, Z′-Lyte biochemical assay from Life technologies was used according to manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, black 384-well plates containing 100 nl of 100× compound solution in 100% DMSO, 2.4 μl kinase buffer, 5 μl 2×MAPK1 (ERK2)/Ser/Thr 03 mixture and 2.5 μl 4×ATP solution were used. Plates were shaken for 30 seconds and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. Then, 5 μl of a 1:1024 dilution of Development Reagent A was added. Plates were shaken for 30 seconds and incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. A plate reader was used to read fluorescence. In this assay, ERK2 enzyme was used at a concentration of 0.4 μg/ml (5.74 nM) at ATP Km (100 μM). Kinase buffer consisted of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRIJ-35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA. Compounds IC50 were determined with a 3-fold serial dilution (10 point titrations in duplicate). |
