Biological Information
Background Information:
CLK2 (CDC2-like kinases) proteins contain an Serine- and Arginine-rich (SR) domain and autophosphorylate on tyrosine, serine, and threonine residues in overexpression systems and in vitro. Mutations in the clk-2 gene of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans affect organismal features such as development, behavior, reproduction, and aging as well as cellular features such as the cell cycle, apoptosis, the DNA replication checkpoint, and telomere length. These results suggest the existence of a novel class of protein kinases, with an unusual substrate specificity, which may be involved in cell cycle control. Overexpression of CLK2 decreases cell cycle length. Inhibition of CLK2 may reversibly arrest the cell cycle and tumor growth.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
CLK2 (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 20 µM YRRAAVPPSPSLSRHSSPHQS(p) EDEEE, 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.

[ATP]= 15µM (Km= 24µM )
Incubation:
40 min at Room temperature
Control Inhibitor:
Staurosporine
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:
