We report herein the development of an efficient fluorescence assay for serine/threonine kinases using a peptide array. Our approach is based on chemical reactions specific to phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues, that is, base-mediated beta-elimination of the phosphate group and subsequent Michael addition of a thiol-containing fluorescent reagent. This procedure enables the covalent introduction of a. uorescent moiety into the phosphorylated peptide. Novel. uorescent reagents were designed for this purpose and synthesized. With these reagents, protein kinase A (PKA) and Akt-1 activities were readily detected. Our method can also be used to measure the activity of kinase inhibitors. This assay is expected to be widely applicable in kinase research. (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
