Description

The KRAS(G12C) Coupled Nucleotide Exchange Assay Kit is designed for screening and profiling of KRAS(G12C) antagonists/inhibitors by monitoring the binding of an effector protein such as the Ras binding domain of Raf1, (RBD-cRaf) to KRAS(G12C). With this kit, a few simple steps on a microtiter plate are required for nucleotide exchange detection. First, a sample containing GDP-loaded KRAS(G12C) is incubated with SOS1 and GTP for the nucleotide exchange. Next, RBD-cRAF is added and incubated for the effector-RAS binding. Then, acceptor and donor beads are added and incubated for detection followed by reading the Alpha-counts.

SOS1 (son of sevenless) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that facilitates the exchange of GDP for GTP. GDP-loaded KRAS(G12C) is in an inactive state, and does not interact with the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of cRAF. SOS1 assists in the release of GDP from KRAS(G12C) so that GTP can occupy the nucleotide binding pocket. This results in a conformational change in KRAS(G12C) that permits its binding to RBD-cRAF. The KRAS(G12C) Coupled Nucleotide Exchange Assay Kit utilizes GST-tagged RBD-cRAF and His-tagged KRAS (G12C) to assay binding of KRAS(G12C) to RBD-cRAF in the Alpha assay. Glutathione acceptor and Ni chelate donor beads are brought into proximal range by the binding of KRAS(G12C) and RBD-cRAF, enabling the energy transfer from the donor to acceptor beads after laser excitation.

Background

It is well established that RAS mutations are responsible for more than 30% of human cancers. KRAS(G12C) is one of the KRAS mutations that is found frequently in lung and colon cancers. The G12C mutation favors the activated (GTP-bound) state of KRAS, amplifying signaling pathways that lead to oncogenesis. Recent studies have led to the discovery of a small molecule called AMG510 (Amgen) that locks KRAS conformation in the GDP-bound (inactive) state, thereby blocking KRAS(G12C)-mediated signaling pathway. Compounds that affect the nucleotide exchange (GDP to GTP) reaction could lead to a novel approach leading to the inhibition of tumor cell growth in KRAS(G12C) driven tumors.

Storage/Stability

This assay kit will perform optimally for up to 6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.

Applications

Screen small molecule inhibitors or antagonists that affect KRAS(G12C) nucleotide-binding status in high throughput (HTS) applications.

Contraindications

Green and blue dyes, such as Trypan Blue, absorb light in the AlphaScreen® signal emission range (520-620 nm). Avoid the use of the potent singlet oxygen quenchers such as sodium azide (NaN₃) or metal ions (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Ni²⁺). The presence of >1% RPMI 1640 culture medium leads to a signal reduction due to the presence of excess biotin and iron in this medium. MEM, which lacks these components, does not affect AlphaScreen® assays.

The final concentration of DMSO in the reaction should not exceed 1%.

Warnings

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Disclaimers and Limitations

BPS Bioscience assay kits are validated using the listed components according to our specific protocol. Any deviations to kit components or protocols, such as using different proteins, cell/tissue lysates, or buffers (including using the same component from other commercial sources) will void any warranties on the performance of the assay kit and is not recommended.

End-users should immediately report any issues to [email protected] upon receipt of the kit, such as missing components, damaged vials, no dry ice, etc.
