Description

MLCK inhibitor peptide 18 is a myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor with an IC50 of 50 nM, and inhibits CaM kinase II only at 4000-fold higher concentrations.

IC50 & Target

CaMK II

 

In Vitro

MLCK inhibitor peptide 18 has a selective effect on peptide substrate utilization by MLCK, does not interfere with kinase activation by CaM, does not have significant inhibitory activity with the closely related CaMPKII, and does not inhibit PKA[1].

Kinase Assay
[1]

All assays are done in a final volume of 50 μL. Each point is tested in duplicate. The standard assay conditions are 50 mM HEPES, 0.2 mM [γ-32P]ATP (specific activity 200−300 cpm/pmol), 1 mM DTT, 1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin, 5 mM MgCl2, 150 mM KCl, 15 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, with or without inhibitors. Synthetic substrate concentrations, KKRPQRATSNVFAM-NH2 for MLCK, PLRRTLSVAA-NH2 for CaMPKII, and LRRASLG for PKA, are 20 μM. The reactions are initiated with the addition of 5 μL of enzyme (PKA) or enzyme:CaM complex (for MLCK and CaMPKII). Enzyme:CaM complexes are preformed by incubation of enzyme in ice for 1 min in the presence of 1 μM CaM and 5 μM CaCl2 (for MLCK) or 30 μM CaM and 2 mM CaCl2 (for CaMPKII). Assay conditions are 20 min, 25°C for MLCK; 8 min, 25°C for CaMPKII; 6 min, 25°C for PKA. Aliquots of each reaction tube are spotted into phosphocellulose filter paper. Filters are washed in 75 mM phosphoric acid solution, followed by 95% ethanol, dried, and placed into vials containing 10 mL of Ecoscint O. Radioactivity is determined by counting vials in a Beckman 6500 liquid scintillation counter. No quenching corrections are applied. Data are transformed as percent of the maximal enzyme activity, where enzyme activity in the absence of inhibitors is taken as 100%. ICsub>50 values are calculated by a linear regression data analysis on data points corresponding to 15%−85% of maximal activity. This analysis is done using InPlot version 4.0.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
