Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  MAP4K4 Human STE Kinase Enzymatic Radiometric Assay
Description:  MAP4K4 (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 250 μM RLGRDKYKTLRQIRQ, 10 mM Magnesium Acetate and [gamma-33P-ATP](specific activity and concentration as required). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the Mg/ATP mix. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, the reaction is stopped by the addition of phosphoric acid to a concentration of 0.5%. 10 ul of the reaction is then spotted onto a P30 filter mat and washed four times for 4 minutes in 0.425% phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.SUBSTRATE: 250 μM RLGRDKYKTLRQITRACER: 33PATP CONCENTRATION: 200 μMINCUBATION: 40 min at Room temperatureCONTROL INHIBITOR: StaurosporineCOMPOUND CONCENTRATION: 10 μM, 3 μM, 1 μM, 0.3 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.03 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.003 μM, 0.001 μM.COMPOUND DILUTION SCHEME: All compounds supplied were prepared to a working stock of 50× final assay concentration in 100% DMSO. Where appropriate, more concentrated stocks were diluted manually to 50× using 100% DMSO. Compounds supplied as powders were reconstituted to a 10 mM stock in 100% DMSO before further dilution to 50×.ASSAY PROCEDURE: The required volume of the 50× stock of test compound was added to the assay before a reaction mix containing the enzyme and substrate was added. The reaction was initiated by the addition of ATP at the selected concentration. There was no pre-incubation of the compound with the enzyme/substrate mix prior to ATP addition. For further details of each individual assay, please refer to the website or the accompanying protocol document.DATA ANALYSIS: Data are handled using a custom built in-house analysis software. Results are expressed as kinase activity remaining, as a percentage of the DMSO control. This is calculated using the following formula:Mean of Sample Counts−Mean of Blank Counts/Mean of Control CountsFor IC50 determinations, data are analyzed using XLFit version 5.3 (ID Business Solutions).
