Phosphatase-Coupled Universal Kinase Assay and Kinetics for First-Order-Rate Coupling Reaction

Open access
Wu, Zhengliang L.·2011·PLoS ONE

Abstract

Kinases use adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) as the donor substrate and generate adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP) as a product. An ADP-based phosphatase-coupled kinase assay is described here. In this assay, CD39L2, a nucleotidase, is added into a kinase reaction to hydrolyze ADP to AMP and phosphate. The phosphate is subsequently detected using malachite green phosphate-detection reagents. As ADP hydrolysis by CD39L2 displays a first-order rate constant, relatively simple equations are derived to calculate the coupling rate and the lagging time of the coupling reaction, allowing one to obtain kinase kinetic parameters without the completion of the coupling reaction. ATP inhibition of CD39L2-catalyzed ADP hydrolysis is also determined for correction of the kinetic data. As examples, human glucokinase, P. chrysogenum APS kinase and human ERK1, kinases specific for sugar, nucleotide and protein respectively, are assayed. To assess the compatibility of the method for high-throughput assays, Z' factors >0.5 are also obtained for the three kinases.

  • The assay is based on the detection of inorganic phosphate, which is released during the sugar transfer reaction and subsequent hydrolysis of UDP catalyzed by a phosphatase.

    “The assay is based on the detection of inorganic phosphate, which is released during the sugar transfer reaction and subsequent hydrolysis of UDP catalyzed by a phosphatase.”

    From High level in vivo mucin-type glycosylation in Escherichia coli (2018) · cites this paper as [19]

    The Introduction and Discussion describe detecting inorganic phosphate released by a phosphatase-coupled assay. But this paper’s assay measures phosphate released from ADP produced by kinase reactions, not from UDP following a sugar-transfer reaction. The Introduction mentions a glycosyltransferase assay only as a similar assay. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • The released phosphate is optically quantified using malachite green reagents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
