Abstract:
:We have developed a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative 96-well microplate-based nonradioactive immunoprecipitation/kinase assay to evaluate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity. Three quantitative nonradioactive imunoprecipitation/kinase assays of MAPK were demonstrated on a 96-well microplate coated with ANTI-FLAG M2 antibody (ANTI-FLAG M2 plate): (i) the capture of phosphorylated FLAG-tagged MAPK fusion protein (FLAG-MAPK) from phorbol esters-stimulated, FLAG-MAPK-transfected COS-7 cells, coupled with a very sensitive ELISA procedure to quantitate the level of phosphorylation of FLAG-MAPK; (ii) the in vitro kinase reaction of FLAG-MAPK activity with a substrate and ATP in the same well used to captured the phosphorylated FLAG-MAPK; and (iii) the in vitro kinase reaction of captured non-activated FLAG-MAPK by its upstream kinase from phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated COS-7 cells. These results demonstrate that the ANTI-FLAG M2 plate allows for the rapid and quantitative determination of phosphorylation of FLAG-MAPK directly from stimulated, transfected cell lysate. Captured, phosphorylated FLAG-MAPK retains catalytic activity as demonstrated by the phosphorylation of Elk-1 in the same well. Furthermore, phosphorylation of captured FLAG-MAPK by the upstream kinases can be observed directly on the plate. These assays are sensitive, specific, and suitable for handling multiple samples. Thus, the ANTI-FLAG M2 plate forms the basis of a high-throughput screening platform in kinase analysis.

BIOTECHNIQUES文献大全abstract::Array technology is a widely used tool for gene expression profiling in various biological systems. However, the application of this method to mammalian preimplantation embryos is limited by the small amount of mRNA that can be extracted from a single embryo, which is not sufficient for array analysis.
