Overview

The HTRF KinEASE kit series provides a simple biochemical approach to study kinase activity, screen for inhibitors and characterize them. Three STK and one TK kits, offer a semi-universal method for assessing phosphorylation on Serine/Threonine (STK) and Tyrosine (TK) residues, respectively.

Over 188 kinases have been validated with this technique and the assay validation section of this page includes technical tips for each assay setup.

The Discovery kit is intended to help determine which of the three STK kits is appropriate when working with a non-validated Serine/Threonine kinase.

Benefits

  • EASY KINASE PRE-VALIDATION
  • SEMI-UNIVERSAL METHOD FOR STKS
  • LOW ENZYME CONSUMPTION

Assay principle

Each HTRF KinEASE kit is based on the same assay format, and uses a universal biotinylated substrate, a phospho-specific Eu-cryptate-labeled monoclonal antibody, and SA-XL665. All three STK peptidic substrates are made of the same sequence for antibody detection, next to a variable sequence recognized by enzymes. The targeted residue for phosphorylation lies in between as part of both sequences for enzymatic activity (unphosphorylated) and antibody detection (phosphorylated). It has been shown that 3 different variable sequences could enable the study of most Serine/Threonine kinases.

Assay principle

As shown here, all HTRF KinEASE assays work the same way and involve two steps: Step 1: Kinase reaction The kinase is incubated in the presence or absence of compounds and the appropriate substrate. The supplemented enzymatic buffer is added in the kinase buffer for tyr kinases only. ATP is added to start the reaction. Step 2: Detection Eu3+ cryptate and XL665 conjugates are added. The detection buffer contains EDTA to stop the enzymatic reaction.

Over 190 Serine/Threonine and Tyrosine kinases have already been validated with the HTRF KinEASE kits, and their optimal substrate determined. Note that one given enzyme may be compatible with several substrates, as shown here with MST1 that work equally well with S3 and S2, but significantly less with S1.
