Biological Information

Background Information:

Protein serine/threonine kinase Aurora-A (STK6, STK15, BTAK, AIK, ARK1, AURA, Aurora-related kinase 1, Breast-tumor-amplified kinase) is one of a family of serine-threonine kinases that have been strongly linked to chromosome segregation and centrosome functions. There are three isoforms of Aurora kinase: A, B, and C. Molecular mechanism of Aurora-A regulation of G2-M transition is phosphorylation of histone H3. Inhibition of Aurora A may be useful in the treatment of many types of human cancer, including leukemia, colon and breast cancer.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Aurora-A (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 200 µM LRRASLG (Kemptide), 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:

200 µM LRRASLG (Kemptide)

Tracer:

33P

ATP Concentration:

[ATP]= 15µM (Km= 14µM )

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:
– <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.
