Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	ULK2 ^[1] (Cell-free assay) 1.1 nM ULK1 ^[1] (Cell-free assay) 2.9 nM
In vitro	MRT68921 specifically disrupts autophagosome maturation and thus blocks autophagic flux through ULK1 inhibition. ^[1]
Kinase Assay	Kinase Assays
Kinase Assay	Initial ULK1 kinase assays are performed with GST-ULK1, produced in Sf9 cells, which is described on the MRC-PPU Reagents website. For other experiments, recombinant GST-ULK1 (wild type, kinase-dead (K46I), and M92T and M92Q) is expressed in 293T cells, purified, and eluted from a glutathione-Sepharose column. Kinase assays are carried out in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 0.1 mM EGTA, and 0.1% β-mercaptoethanol, containing 30 μM cold ATP, and 0.5 μCi of [γ-32P]ATP for 5 min at 25 °C. Prior to ATP addition, reaction mixes are prewarmed to 25 °C for 5 min. Reactions are stopped by the addition of sample buffer, followed by SDS-PAGE, transfer to nitrocellulose, and analysis by autoradiography and immunoblot.
In vivo	MRT68921 is a potent and dual autophagy kinase ULK1/2 inhibitor.
