Biological Information
Background Information:
Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK), including the ROCK1 and ROCK2 isoforms, is a protein kinase involved in signaling from Rho to actin cytoskeleton. PKA and the two ROCKs have been reported to have opposite effects on neurite formation. More studies are needed to provide significant insights into the role of ROCK in several pathological processes. ROCK inhibitors have been shown the benefit for treatment of various cancers, inflammation, coronary artery spasms and hypertension.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant protein kinase ROCK2 expressed in Sf21 insect cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 81 mU/ml enzyme‡ for 15 minutes at 37°C in modified MOPS buffer pH 7.2. The reaction is initiated by addition of 15 μM long S6 kinase substrate, 10 μM ATP and 0.05 μCi [γ³²P]ATP for another 30 minutes incubation period and terminated by further addition of 3% H3PO4. An aliquot is removed and counted to determine the amount of [32P]Long S6 kinase substrate formed. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
