Background
WNK1 is a member of the WNK subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases that is a key regulator of blood pressure by controlling the transport of sodium and chloride ions. Mutations in WNK1 have been associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II and hereditary sensory neuropathy type II. WNK1 is a regulator of blood pressure and deficiency of this protein in mice lowers the blood pressure. WNK1 can regulate the Ca(2+) sensing and the subsequent Ca(2+)-dependent interactions mediated by synaptotagmin C2 domains and WNK1 exhibits additive CFTR inhibition.
Storage/Stability
At least 6 months at -80°C.
Assay Conditions
Kinase activity was measured using Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) substrate diluted in water to a final concentration of 1 mg/ml. Increasing amounts of kinase were mixed with a final concentration of 200 µg/ml peptide substrate in a buffer consisting of 5 mM MOPS pH 7.2, 5 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM β-glycerol-phosphate, 1 mM EGTA, 0.4 mM EDTA, 50 ng/µl BSA (bovine serum albumin) and 0.25 mM fresh DTT (final concentrations). The reaction was initiated by adding 5 µl [33P]-ATP (1 µCi/sample) mixture containing 0.25 mM non-radioactive ATP. The blank was determined from a “no substrate” sample.
The reaction was incubated for 15 minutes at 30°C and terminated by spotting 20 μl of the mixture onto phosphocellulose paper strips that were fixed in 1% phosphoric acid and washed three times. Radioactivity was determined using a scintillation counter.
Instructions for Use
Thaw on ice and gently mix prior to use. DO NOT VORTEX. Perform a quick spin before opening. Aliquot into small volumes and flash freeze for long term storage. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Applications
Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
