Abstract
The screening of compound libraries to identify small-molecule modulators of specific biological targets is crucial in the process for the discovery of novel therapeutics and molecular probes. Considering the need for simple single-tool assay technologies with which one could monitor “all” kinases, we developed a fluorescence polarization (FP)-based assay to monitor the binding capabilities of protein kinases to ATP. We used BODIPY ATP-y-S as a probe to measure the shift in the polarization of a light beam when passed through the sample. We were able to optimize the assay using commercial Protein Kinase A (PKA) and H7 efficiently inhibited the binding of the probe when added to the reaction. Furthermore, we were able to employ the assay in a high-throughput fashion and validate the screening of a set of small molecules predicted to dock into the ATP-binding site of PKA. This will be useful to screen larger libraries of compounds that may target protein kinases by blocking ATP binding.
