Overview

This product has been discontinued.





Recombinant, human ASK1 (accession no. NM_005923), consisting of amino acids 649-946, fused at the N-terminus to GST and expressed in S. frugiperda insect cells using a baculovirus expression system. ASK1, also known as MAPKKK5, activates MKK3, MKK4 (SEK1), and MKK6, is a serine/threonine kinase that is activated in response to TNFα. It plays a central role in stress-induced apoptosis; overexpression of ASK1 induces apoptotic cell death. The active kinase is useful in the study of ASK1 activity regulation and inhibitor screening.

Recommended reaction conditions
Activity Assay Materials Required • Kinase Assay Buffer: 25 mM MOPS, 25 mM MgCl2, 12.5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 5 mM EGTA, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.2; add 0.25 mM DTT just prior to use • Kinase Dilution Buffer: Kinase Assay Buffer diluted 1:5 with 50 ng/µl BSA • ASK1: Prepare serial dilutions using Kinase Dilution Buffer as outlined in the sample data below or as deemed necessary for individual experimental conditions • 10 mM ATP Stock Solution: Dissolve 55 mg ATP in 10 ml Kinase Assay Buffer; dispense into 200 µl aliquots and freeze (-20°C) • 250 µM [32P]-ATP Assay Cocktail: 150 µl 10 mM ATP stock solution, 100 µl [32P]-ATP (1 mCi/100 µl), 5.75 ml Kinase Assay Buffer; dispense into 1 ml aliquots and freeze (-20°C) • Substrate: Dissolve myelin basic protein (MBP) in dH2O to a final concentration of 1 mg/ml
Activity Assay Protocol 1. Thaw an aliquot of [32P]-ATP Assay Cocktail in a shielded container in a designated radioactive working area. 2. Thaw the ASK1, Kinase Assay Buffer, Substrate, and Enzyme Dilution Buffer on ice. 3. In a pre-cooled tube, add the following components: • 10 µl diluted ASK1 • 10 µl 1 mg/ml Substrate stock 4. Prepare a Blank as outlined in step 3, replacing the 10 µl Substrate with an equal volume of water. 5. Initiate the reaction by adding 5 µl [32P]-ATP Assay Cocktail (final volume is 25 µl) and incubating in a water bath at 30°C for 15 min. 6. Terminate the reaction by spotting 20 µl of the reaction mixture onto individual pre-cut strips of phosphocellulose P81 paper. 7. Air-dry the pre-cut strips and sequenentially wash in 1% phosphoric acid with constant, gentle stirring for 10 min. Repeat for a total of 3 washes. 8. Count the radioactivity in presence of scintillation fluid. 9. Determine the corrected cpm by substracting the value of the Blank from each sample and calculate as follows:
