The Ras signaling pathway regulates diverse cellular processes, including cell \n\nproliferation, differentiation, and survival. Conversion of Ras from the inactive GDP-bound state to the \n\nactive GTP-bound state activates the downstream effector and promotes cell growth. RAF is a key \n\ndownstream effector of RAS. Since the frequently mutated Ras genes are associated with various \n\nhuman tumors, the Ras-RAF signaling pathway is considered a potential therapeutic target for cancer \n\ntreatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAssay Principle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kras (G12D)-cRAF binding assay kit is a TR-FRET based assay, which is designed to detect the \n\nbinding status between Kras and cRAF. Tag2-Kras (G12D) in this assay kit is loaded with GppNHp, \n\nwhich represents the activated Kras. The Ras binding domain (RBD) of cRAF has a Tag1 at N-terminus. \n\nA Terbium-labeled anti-Tag2 antibody binding to the Tag2-Kras serves as a fluorescence donor (HTRF \n\ndonor), activation of which results in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) if Tag1-cRAF \n\nbinds to the Kras, since the binding brings Terbium on the anti-Tag2 antibody close to the fluorophore \n\non the anti-Tag1 antibody (HTRF acceptor). Thus, the binding status can be quantitively measured by \n\ncalculating the ratio of the emission fluorescence intensity of the acceptor (665 nm) and donor (620 \n\nnm). Blocking the Kras-cRAF binding will reduce the HTRF signal. \n\n-4510 or 858453-5700 Fax: 855-898-3979 \n\n1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eApplication\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh throughput screening of compounds that inhibit the binding between activated Kras (G12D) and \ncRAF for drug discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstrument Required\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA HTRF® certified microplate reader capable of measuring Time Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKit Components\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"bhc-spec-table\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.85em\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#1a5c58;color:#fff\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:left\"\u003eCatalog No.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:left\"\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003eAmount\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003e5727-BK-B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:center\"\u003e25 mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:center\"\u003e-20°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003e384-well microplate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:center\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px;text-align:center\"\u003eRoom temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterials Not Supplied\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroplate reader, HTRF® certified microplate reader (such as Tecan M1000 or Tecan Spark, etc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5 M DTT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable micro-pipettor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterile Tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhc-assay-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAssay Protocol\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col style=\"padding-left:1.2em\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:6px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepare the inhibitor compound solution If the inhibitor compound is dissolved in water, make a solution of the compound 10-fold higher than the final concentration in Binding buffer (since you will add 2 µl to the 20 µl reaction).
