Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  LRRK2 Km ATP LanthaScreen Assay
Description:  Compound potency against LRRK2 kinase activity was determined using LanthaScreen technology from Life Technologies Corporation (Carlsbad, CA) using a GST20 tagged truncated human mutant G2019S LRRK2 in the presence of the fluorescein-labeled peptide substrate LRRKtide (LRRK2 phosphorylated ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM)), also from Life Technologies. The data presented for the Km ATP LanthaScreen Assay represents mean IC50 values based on several test results and may have reasonable deviations depending on the specific conditions and reagents used. Km is the Michaelis constant of an enzyme and is defined as the concentration of native substrate (ATP for a kinase) which permits the enzyme to achieve half Vmax (Vmax=rate of reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate). IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) represents the concentration of inhibitor required to inhibit LRRK2 kinase activity by 50%. Assays were performed in the presence of 134 μM ATP (Km ATP). Upon completion, the assay was stopped, and phosphorylated substrate detected with a terbium (Tb)-labeled anti-pERM antibody (cat. no. PV4898). The compound dose response was prepared by diluting a 10 mM stock of compound to a maximum concentration of 9.99 μM in 100% DMSO, followed by custom fold serial dilution in DMSO nine times. 20 nL of each dilution was spotted via a Labcyte Echo onto a 384-well black-sided plate (Corning 3575) followed by 15 μl of a 1.25 nM enzyme solution in 1× assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Brij-35, 1 mM EGTA, 2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.05 mM sodium orthovanadate). Following a 15-min incubation period at RT, the kinase reaction was started with the addition of 5 μL of 400 nM fluorescein-labeled LRRKtide (LRRK2 phosphorylated ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM)) peptide substrate and 134 μM ATP solution in 1× assay buffer. The reaction was allowed to progress at ambient temperature for 90 min. The reaction was then stopped by the addition of 20 μL of TR-FRET Dilution Buffer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) containing 2 nM Tb-labeled anti-phospho LRRKtide (LRRK2 phosphorylated ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM)) antibody and 10 mM EDTA (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). After an incubation period of 1 h at RT, the plate was read on an EnVision multimode plate reader (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) with an excitation wavelength of 337 nm (Laser) and a reading emission at both 520 and 495 nm.
