Biological Information

Background Information:

Adenosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic master switch, activated by exercise and muscle contraction. AMPK phosphorylate key target proteins that control glucose uptake, oxidation of fatty acids, cholesterol synthesis, lipogenesis, triglyceride synthesis, adipocyte lipolysis, glycolysis and nitric oxide synthesis. Metabolic deficiencies or inhibition of AMPK signaling system may result in impaired glucose tolerance and Type 2 diabetes mellitus and contribute to lipid accumulation.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant protein kinase AMPK (A1/B1/G1) expressed in insect cells is used. Test compound or 1 µM A769662 or vehicle is preincubated with 0.24 µg/ml of enzyme in modified MOPS buffer pH 7.2 for 15 minutes at 37C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 10 mM SAMS peptide, 1 mM ATP and 0.25 mCi [g32P]ATP for another 30 minute incubation period and terminated by further addition of 3% H3PO4. After harvesting, filtermats are counted to determine the amount of [32P]SAMS peptide formed. Compounds are screened at 10 µM.
