Biological Information

Background Information:

MAPK1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, ERK2 or extracellular signal –regulated protein kinase) is one of the isoforms of MAP kinase. This serine/threonine kinase is activated by dual phosphorylation on tyrosine and threonine residues (Tyr-185 and Thr-183). Phosphorylation of both residues by the upstream activator MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase, MAP2K) is essential not only for ERK2 activation, but also for translocation of the ERK2 to the nucleus. Following this activation, ERK2 phosphorylates a large number of regulatory proteins and this directly controls key cellular processes such as transcription, translation and cytoskeletal rearrangement. An inhibitor assay may be of benefit for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders or asthma.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

MAPK1(m) is incubated with 25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.02 mM EGTA, 0.33 mg/mL myelin basic protein, 10 mM MgAcetate 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%. An aliquot of the reaction is then spotted onto a filter and washed four times for 4 minutes in 0.425% phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.

Substrate:

0.33 mg/mL MBP

Tracer:

ATP Concentration:

[ATP]= 155µM (Km= 144µM )

Incubation:

40 min at Room temperature

Control Inhibitor:

PKR Inhibitor

Test Sample Requirements:

Please provide compounds dissolved in 100% DMSO (PBS or HBSS prohibited).
Stock solution should be ≥50× the final assay concentration (a 10 mM stock is also acceptable).
Required volume:
– <60 kinase assays: 120 µL of 50× stock
– ≥60 assays: 420 µL of 50× stock
If you supply 10 mM stocks or powder (pre-weighed), we will apply the appropriate conversion.
For batches of ~50 compounds supplied as solids, the TAT will be extended.
