Figure 1. Aurora A kinase activity was measured in a radiometric assay using the following reaction conditions: 5 mM MOPS, pH 7.2, 2.5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM EGTA, 0.4 mM EDTA, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.05 mM DTT, 50 μM ATP, Substrate: MBP 200 ng/μL, and recombinant Aurora A: variable.

Figure 3. Dose dependence curve of Aurora A kinase activity: DELFIA® data generated using Phospho-PLK (Ser137) Antibody #5070 to detect phosphorylation of substrate peptide #1300 by Aurora A kinase. In a 50 µl reaction, increasing amounts of Aurora A and 1.5 µM substrate peptide were used per reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes. (DELFIA® is a registered trademark of PerkinElmer, Inc.)

Figure 5. Staurosporine inhibition of Aurora A kinase activity: DELFIA® data generated using Phospho-PLK (Ser137) Antibody #5070 to detect phosphorylation of Aurora A substrate peptide #1300 by Aurora A kinase. In a 50 µl reaction, 50 ng Aurora A, 1.5 µM substrate peptide, 50 µM ATP and increasing amounts of staurosporine were used per reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Figure 4. Peptide concentration dependence of Aurora A kinase activity: DELFIA® data generated using Phospho-PLK (Ser137) Antibody #5070 to detect phosphorylation of substrate peptide #1300 by Aurora A kinase. In a 50 µl reaction, 50 ng of Aurora A and increasing concentrations of substrate peptide were used per reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes.
