JAK1 Assay – Transcreener Application

Learn More About Transcreener Method Used for This JAK1 Assay

JAK1 Assay - A Transcreener ADP2 Assay Application

Transcreener ADP² Assay directly measures ADP produced by JAK1 (Janus Kinase 1). These ADP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the JAK1 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for JAK1 modulators to help find new therapies for disease. 

The kit comes complete with the detection reagents required to measure activity. JAK1 enzyme is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme.

This assay is designed to be used with purified enzyme preparations. Transcreener assays are not validated with cell lysates, blood, serum, or other biological samples.

How Does This JAK1 Assay Work?

The Transcreener JAK1 Assay determines JAK1 enzyme activity by directly measuring the ADP formed by the enzyme using the Transcreener ADP Assay. By detecting ADP output, the assay provides a universal method to assess the activity of any ADP-producing enzyme in real-time.

Transcreener JAK1 Assay Technology uses a simple but highly effective method that consists of an antibody selective to ADP over ATP and a far-red fluorescent tracer. ADP produced in the reaction competes with the tracer changing the fluorescent properties and providing a fluorescent readout.

The JAK1 assay is available with FP, FI, and TR-FRET. It is a simple mix-and-read format. Perform your enzyme reaction, add the detection reagent, and measure. The simplicity of the system yields robust results that also makes it extremely amiable to HTS.

Transcreener Mix and Read Assay

Robust Assay Yields Quality Data

Z’ measurements using optimized JAK1 reaction conditions indicate a robust assay.  Robust data like this is vital for sizeable high throughput screens that are difficult to complete due to massive sample quantity. Both reactions have 10 µM ATP, 10 µM IRS1 peptide substrate for an enzyme reaction of 60 minutes at 30°C. Z' shown here = 0.79.

Detection of ADP Under JAK1 Initial Velocity - FP Readout

The assay demonstrates linearity when raw data is converted to ADP using a standard curve. Here we use 10 µM ATP with 10 µM IRS1(Y608) peptide substrates. Linearity is shown here under initial velocity conditions when raw data is converted to ADP formed. The JAK1 enzyme reaction took place for 60 minutes at 30°C. The enzymatic reaction was then halted using Stop & Detect Buffer B included in the kit and assay plates were read. Non-productive hydrolysis of ATP occurs in many kinase reactions due to many factors including autophosphorylation and water exploiting the ATP binding pocket of the enzyme.

The Role of JAK1 As a Therapeutic Target

Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are transcription factors that lead to cellular immunity, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation though chain reactions. Once a cytokine binds to its receptor, JAK proteins activate and phosphorylate the receptor. This allows subsequent STAT binding and relocation to the nucleus where transcription occurs.

In normal cells, this pathway enhances the immune response to fight diseases. Genome studies found a multitude of polymorphisms in many of the proteins involved in this pathway which contribute to autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. One current JAK1 inhibitor Upadacitinib (Rinvoq) is currently marketed for Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment by AbbVie.

The Transcreener ADP² JAK1 Assay is an excellent tool for researchers examining the therapeutic effects of JAK1.
