Learn More About Transcreener Method Used for this RIPK1 Assay.

RIPK1 Assay - A Transcreener ADP2 Assay Application

Transcreener ADP² Assay directly measures ADP produced by RIPK1  (Receptor-Interacting Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases). These ADP measurements allow researchers to effectively determine the activity of the RIPK1 enzyme. The assay provides a powerful tool to screen compound libraries for RIPK1 modulators to help find new therapies for disease.

The kit comes complete with the detection reagents required to measure activity. RIPK1 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 RIPK1 Assay Work?

The Transcreener RIPK1 Assay determines RIPK1 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 RIPK1 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 RIPK1 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 RIPK1 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 = 0.78.

Detection of ADP Under RIPK1 Initial Velocity (FP Readout)

The assay demonstrates linearity when raw data is converted to ADP using a standard curve. Here we use 100 μM ATP, 40 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 5 mM MnCl2, and 40 mM MgCl2.  The enzyme buffer includes 40 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM DTT, and 0.2 mg/mL BSA. The Detection mix included 40 μg/mL ADP2 antibody, 4 nM ADP Alexa 633 tracer, and 1X Stop & Detect Buffer B in 10 μL. The RIPK1 enzyme reaction took place for 60 minutes at room temperature. The Detection Mix was added and incubated for 40 minutes at room temperature and read with a CLARIOstar plate reader.

The Role of RIPK1 As a Therapeutic Target

Studies show RIPK1 inhibitors have potential therapeutic effects particularly in diseases with atypical tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) signaling (Finger et al, 2017). In necroptosis, the necrosome, a complex of multiple proteins, recruits mixed kinase domain like protein (MLKL), rupturing the cell membrane. RIPK1 has a hand in initiating this. When TNF binds to its receptor, proteins including RIPK1 form TNFR-1 complex I (Mason et al, 2017). Eventually, the signaling pathway requires RIPK1 and RIPK3 to autophosphorylate each other; forming the necrosome.

A team of scientists found that specifically inactivating RIPK1 was superior to eliminating kidney ischemia–reperfusion injury, systemic inflammation compared to the loss of MLKL (Newton et al, 2016). It’s not only inflammatory diseases, but other diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) could benefit from RIPK1 inhibitors. An overabundance of the protein has been found in patients with AD (Mason et al, 2017).

The Transcreener ADP RIPK1 Assay is an excellent tool for researchers examining the therapeutic effects of RIPK1.
