LANCE Ultra Kinase Assays
LANCE® Ultra time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy
transfer (TR-FRET) assays use a proprietary europium chelate
donor dye, W-1024 (Eu), with ULight, an innovative small
molecular weight acceptor dye with a red-shifted fluorescent
emission. In kinase assays, the binding of a Eu-labeled antiphospho-substrate antibody to the phosphorylated ULightlabeled substrate brings donor and acceptor molecules into
close proximity.
After irradiation of the kinase reaction at 320 or 340 nm, the
energy from the Eu donor is transferred to the ULight acceptor
dye which, in turn, generates light at 665 nm. The intensity
of the light emission is proportional to the level of ULightsubstrate phosphorylation.

Suggested procedure
• Dilute the c-TAK1 kinase, ATP, inhibitors and ULight-Cdc25C
(Ser216) peptide in Kinase Buffer.
• Prepare a 4X Detection Mix by diluting the Eu-anti-phospho
(Ser) 14-3-3 binding motif 4E2 antibody to 8 nM in 1X LANCE
Detection Buffer.
• Add to the wells of a white Optiplate-384:
– 5 µL of c-TAK1 enzyme
– 2.5 µL of inhibitor or Kinase Buffer
– 2.5 µL of ULight-Cdc25C (Ser216) peptide/ ATP mix
(for ATP titration, ATP dilutions are added separately in
Kinase Buffer).
• Cover the plate with TopSeal-A and incubate at room
temperature (RT).
• Stop kinase reactions by adding 5 µL of 40 mM EDTA prepared
in 1X Detection Buffer (Stop Solution). Leave for 5 min at RT.
• Add 5 µL of 4X Detection Mix (Eu-anti-phospho-(Ser) 14-3-3
binding motif 4E2 Antibody at a final concentration of 2 nM).
• Cover with TopSeal-A and incubate for 1 h at RT.
• Remove TopSeal-A and read signal with the EnVision®
Multilabel Reader in TR-FRET mode (excitation at 320 nm
and emission at 665 nm).
NOTE: Eu-labeled antibodies and EDTA can be premixed before
use as a 2X concentrated Stop Solution/Detection Mix to minimize
the number of liquid handling steps.
Experiment 1: Enzymatic Time Course
Experiment 2: ATP Titration
c-TAK1 enzyme was incubated at concentrations ranging from 1.25 to 10 nM
with 100 nM ULight-Cdc25C (Ser216) peptide and 50 µM ATP. Kinase reactions
were terminated after 0 to 120 min by the addition of EDTA.
Serial dilutions of ATP ranging from 10 nM to 1 mM were added to 5 nM c-TAK1
and 100 nM ULight-Cdc25C (Ser216) peptide. Kinase reactions were terminated
after 90 min by the addition of EDTA.
Experiment 3: Enzyme Inhibition Curve
Experiment 4: Z’-factor Determination
Serial dilutions of staurosporine ranging from 3 pM to 300 nM (final concentrations
in 2% DMSO) were incubated with 5 nM c-TAK1, 100 nM ULight-Cdc25C (Ser216)
peptide and 100 µM ATP. Kinase reactions were terminated after 45 min by the
addition of EDTA.
c-TAK1 enzyme at 5 nM was incubated with 100 nM ULight-Cdc25C (Ser216)
peptide and 100 µM ATP with or without 1 µM staurosporine (final concentrations in
2% DMSO). Kinase reactions were terminated after 45 min by the addition of EDTA.
