In vitro kinase assays were performed using 25 μl of kinase reaction. Five nanograms of CDK9/CyclinK (Invitrogen) was incubated with 20 ng baculovirus recombinant full-length MED1 in 10 μM ATP, 40 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 20 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BSA and 50 μM DTT. DMSO or 1 μM FP was added prior to starting the assay. After 1 h of incubation at 25°C, reactions were stopped by adding an equal volume of 2× SDS sample buffer and heating to 95°C for 5 min.
Cdk9 cyclink
CDK9/CyclinK is a protein kinase complex that plays a role in the regulation of transcription. It is composed of the catalytic subunit CDK9 and the regulatory subunit Cyclin K. The complex is involved in the phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, which is important for the initiation and elongation of transcription.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
