      Recommended reaction conditions
      Kinase Activity Assay Activation of ERK1 Required Materials •Assay Buffer: 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM EGTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.5 •ERK1 Dilution Buffer: 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 2 mM DTT, pH 8.0 •ERK1 (substrate): in 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, pH 8.0 •MEK1: 10-fold lower concentration that ERK1, diluted in Assay Buffer •Magnesium/ATP Mix: 75 mM MgCl2, 500 µM ATP Activation Protocol 1. Determine the reaction volume based on the concentration of ERK1 to be activated. 2. Add 1/5 volume Assay Buffer to a clean microcentrifuge tube on ice. 3. Add ERK1 to a final concentration of 300 µg/ml. 4. Add MEK1 at a concentration that is 1/10 that of ERK1. 5. Add ERK1 Dilution Buffer up to 4/5 volume. 6. Add 1/5 volume Magnesium/ATP Mix. 7. Incubate at 30°C for 30 min. 8. Stop the reaction by placing the tubes on ice. 9. Assay the ERK1 activity using the protocol outlined below. Note: The reaction may be dialyzed against 300 mM NaCl, 100 mM Tris-HCl, 2 mM DTT, pH 8.5, diluted with an equal volume of 99% glycerol, and stored at -70°C until use. This activation protocol can also be used for ERK2. Activity Assay Required Materials •Assay Buffer: 25 mM β-glycerophosphate, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM EGTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM DTT, pH 7.5 •Substrate: myelin basic protein, 2 mg/ml •ERK1, activated: 2.5-10 ng/µl, activated by MEK1 (above), diluted in Assay Buffer just prior to use •Magnesium/ATP Mix: 75 mM MgCl2, 500 µM ATP •Diluted [γ32P]ATP/Magnesium/ATP Mix: 197 µl Magnesium/ATP Mix, 3 µl (30 Ci) [γ32P]ATP (3000 Ci/mmol) Activity Protocol 1. Add 10 µl Assay Buffer to a clean microcentrifuge tube on ice. 2. Add 10 µl Substrate. 3. Add 2.5 µl ERK1 (25-100 ng/assay). 4. Add 10 µl Diluted [γ32P]ATP/Magnesium/ATP Mix. 5. Incubate at 30°C for 10 min. 6. Stop the reaction by placing the tubes on ice. 7. Spot 10 µl of each reaction on P81 paper and allow to bind for 30 s. 8. Wash by immersing the paper in 0.75% phosphoric acid and gently shaking. Repeat for a total of 3 washes. 9. Wash as in step 8 using acetone. 10. Dry using an infrared light. 11. Determine the cpm using a scintillation counter or imager.
