JAK3 Assay – Transcreener Application

Learn More About Transcreener Method Used for This JAK3 Assay

JAK3 Assay - A Transcreener ADP2 Assay Application

Transcreener ADP² Kinase Assay directly measures ADP produced by JAK3 (Janus Kinase 3). These ADP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the JAK3 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for JAK3 modulators to help find new therapies for disease. 

The kit comes complete with all the detection reagents required to measure activity. JAK3 enzyme is not included in the inhibitor screening assay kit. Please contact us for questions related to acquiring the enzyme.

How Does This JAK3 Assay Work?

The Transcreener JAK3 Assay determines JAK3 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 JAK3 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 fluorescent readout.

The JAK3 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 JAK3 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. Z' shown here = 0.75.

Detection of ADP Under JAK3 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 20 µM JAK3tide peptide substrates. Linearity is shown here under initial velocity conditions when raw data is converted to ADP formed. The JAK3 enzyme reaction took place for 60 minutes at room temperature. 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 JAK3 As Therapeutic Target

JAK3 is a tyrosine kinase that activates via cytokine receptors (IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15, and IL-21). JAK3 also autophosphorylates in the presence of ATP; examples of that can be seen in the data below. JAK3 phosphorylates and activates STATs that induce the expression of genes in the cell nucleus.

Recent research has shown that JAK3 activation is common in many different cancers and that JAK3 autophosphorylation could be a rate-limiting step. JAK3 mutations have been identified in different forms of leukemia and lymphoma. Inhibiting JAK3 or JAK1 could provide a potential treatment for these cancers.

Because it is expressed only in hematopoietic cells (which should help to limit off-target effects), JAK3 is also being vetted for autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Tofacitinib, a JAK1 and JAK3 inhibitor, is currently marketed by Pfizer. New specific JAK3 inhibitors could help limit the current off-target effects of the drug.

The Transcreener ADP2 JAK3 Assay is an excellent tool for researchers examining the therapeutic effects of JAK3.
