CDK7 NanoBRET Kinase Assay

CDK7 NanoBRET Target Engagement Intracellular Kinase Assay for screening of compounds binding to the target. 

Target Overview

Target

CDK7

HGNC Symbol

CDK7

Synonyms

CAK1, CDKN7, STK1, p39MO15

Cell Line

HEK293 human epithelial cell line from ATCC

Assay Properties

Assay Format

384-well plate format using Promega’s NanoBRET TE Intracellular Kinase Assay

Assay Protocol

HEK293 cells transiently expressing NanoLuc-CDK7 Fusion Vector were seeded into the wells of 384-well plates. The cells were pre-treated with the NanoBRET Tracer K-10 and then treated with reference compound Dinaciclib for 1 hour. The BRET signal was measured on an Envision 2104 Multilabel Reader. IC50 value was calculated and IC50 curve was plotted using the GraphPad Prism 4 program based on a sigmoidal dose response equation.
