Scientific Background

PCTK2 (CDK17) or cyclin-dependent 17 belongs to the cdc2/cdkx subfamily of the ser/thr family of protein . PCTK2 has similarity to a rat protein that is thought to play a role in terminally differentiated neurons (1).

Assay Protocol

Step 1. Thaw [33P]-ATP Assay Cocktail in shielded container in a designated radioactive working area. Step 2. Thaw the Active PCTK2 (CDK17)/Cyclin Y, Kinase Assay Buffer, Substrate and Kinase Dilution Buffer on ice. Step 3. In a pre-cooled microfuge tube, add the following reaction components bringing the initial reaction volume up to 20 µl: Component 1. 10 µl of diluted Active PCTK2 (CDK17)/Cyclin Y (Catalog #P10-10G) Component 2. 5µl of 1mg/ml stock solution of substrate (Catalog #M42-51N)

Component 3. 5µl distilled H2O (4oC) Step 4. Set up the blank control as outlined in step 3, excluding the addition of the substrate. Replace the substrate with an equal volume of distilled H 2O. Step 5. Initiate the reaction by the addition of 5 µl [ 33P]-ATP Assay Cocktail bringing the final volume up to 25 µl and incubate the mixture in a water bath at 30 oC for 15 minutes. Step 6. After the 15 minute incubation period, terminate the reaction by spotting 20 µl of the reaction mixture onto individual pre-cut strips of phosphocellulose P81 paper. Step 7. Air dry the pre-cut P81 strip and sequentially wash in a 1% phosphoric acid solution (dilute 10ml of phosphoric acid and make a 1L solution with distilled H2O) with constant gentle stirring. It is recommended that the strips be washed a total of 3 intervals for approximately 10 minutes each. Step 8. Count the radioactivity on the P81 paper in the presence of scintillation fluid in a scintillation counter. Step 9. Determine the corrected cpm by removing the blank control value (see Step 4) for each sample and calculate the kinase specific activity as outlined below.

Calculation of [P 33]-ATP Specific Activity (SA) (cpm/pmol)

Specific activity (SA) = cpm for 5 µl [33P] -ATP / pmoles of ATP (in 5 µl of a 250 µM ATP stock solution, i.e., 1250 pmoles)

Kinase Specific Activity (SA) (pmol/min/ µµµg or nmol/min/mg)

Corrected cpm from reaction / [(SA of 33P-ATP in cpm/pmol)*(Reaction time in min)*( amount in µg or mg)]*[(Reaction Volume) / (Spot Volume)]
