In vitro kinase activity assay of full-length
NEK7 (6×His-NEK7), NEK7 kinase domain (6×His-NEK7Δ(1–44)),
chimeras N6C7 (6×His-N6C7) and N7C6 (6×His-N7C6), full-length
NEK6 (6×His-NEK6), and NEK6 kinase domain (NEK6Δ(1–33)).
The enzymes were incubated at a concentration of 80 nM with 50 nM
ULight-p70 S6K Peptide, and the phosphorylation was scored in the
presence of 100 μM ATP. Kinase reactions were terminated after
60 min by the addition of EDTA. A reaction without addition of ULight-p70
S6K Peptide was used as a control (Control). Data represent the mean
and standard deviation of three independent experiments. The signal
was measured on a 2104 EnVision Multilabel Microplate Reader. Excitation
wavelength was set to 320 nm, and fluorescence emission was recorded
at 665 nm.
