| Description: | The activity of the compound against mTOR was examined by measuring the incorporation of 33P from [γ-33P]-ATP into 4EBP1. His-tagged, recombinant human 4EBP1 was expressed in E. coli, purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) resins, and stored at −80 °C. Phosphorylation of 4EBP1 by mTOR was assayed in the presence or absence of the compound and performed in a final volume of 25 μl reaction buffer containing 300 ng 4EBP1, 50 ng recombinant mTOR (Invitrogen), 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Polysorbate 20, 10 mM MnCl2, 2.5 mM DTT, 10 μM ATP, and 0.5 μCi [ -33P]-ATP (PerkinElmir) for 30 min at 30 °C. The reactions were terminated by adding 3% phosphoric acid. The 33P labeled 4EBP1 was transferred onto UniFilter-96 GF/B plate (PerkinElmer) and quantified by Top Count Microplate Scintillation Counter (PerkinElmer). For primary screening of kinase activity inhibition, each test compound was evaluated at 10 M in duplicate. |
