PIM3 Cellular Phosphorylation Assay Service

PIM3 Cellular Phosphorylation Assay (intracellular kinase activity assay) for compound screening and profiling in intact cells

Target Overview

Target Description

Pim kinases are constitutively active serine/threonine kinases that promote growth factor-independent proliferation by phosphorylation and subsequent inhibition of a range of cellular proteins. Activity of Pim kinases is physiologically regulated via protein stability. Especially Pim1 and Pim2 kinase have been found to be overexpressed or mutated in a variety of human tumors including B cell lymphomas, leukemias, prostate cancer and oral cancer.

Assay Properties

Assay Description

Transiently transfected Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK) express full length Pim3 kinase as well as Pim-substrate Bad labeled with a myc-tag. Constitutive activity of exogenous Pim3 results in phosphorylation of exogenous Bad at Ser112. Upon compound incubation, cells are lysed and Bad phosphorylation is quantified by Sandwich-ELISA technique. The assay is validated based on the cognate inhibitor of Pim kinases AZD1208 (see Fig.1).
