Introduction
A. Background
Small GTPases are a super-family of cellular signaling regulators. Ras belongs to the Ras sub-family of GTPases that regulate cell growth, cell motility, and gene tranion. GTP binding increases the activity of Ras, and the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP renders it inactive.
Currently the activation of Ras proteins is assayed with the binding of GTP-bound Ras to the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of Raf protein kinase. This method is based on the observation that the active, GTP-bound Ras could bind to the RBD of Raf. However, the reproducibility of this method is poor. This is partially due to the relatively quick hydrolysis of GTP to GDP during the assay procedure, and the low binding affinity of RBD to Ras-GTP.
The Ras Activation Assay Kit is based on the configuration-specific monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes Ras-GTP, but not Ras-GDP. Given the high affinity of monoclonal antibodies to their antigens, the activation assay could be performed in a much shorter time. This assay provides the reliable results with consistent reproducibility.
B. Assay Principle
The Ras Activation Assay Kit uses configuration-specific anti-Ras-GTP Mouse monoclonal antibody to measure Ras-GTP levels in cell extracts or in vitro GTPγS loading Ras activation assays. Anti-Ras-GTP mouse monoclonal antibody is first incubated with cell lysates containing Ras-GTP. Next, the GTP-bound Ras is pulled down by protein A/G agarose. Finally, the precipitated Ras-GTP is detected through immunoblot analysis using Anti-Ras Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody.
The anti-Ras-GTP monoclonal antibody can also be used to monitor the activation of Ras in cells and in tissues by immunohistochemistry.

E. Example Results
The following figure demonstrates example results seen with the Ras Activation Assay Kit. For reference only.
Ras Activation Assay. Purified Ras protein was loaded with GDP (lane 1) or GTPγS (lane 2). These proteins were incubated with an anti-Ras-GTP monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26905) (top panel). The precipitated active Ras was immunoblotted with an anti-Ras rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. # 21021). The bottom panel shows the Western blot with anti-Ras of the used Ras-GDP and Ras-GTPγS.
Assay Procedure
A. Reagent Preparation
1X Assay/Lysis Buffer: Mix the 5X Stock (Cat. # 30301) briefly and dilute to 1X in deionized water. Just prior to usage, add protease inhibitors such as 1 mM PMSF, 10 ?g/mL leupeptin, or 10 ?g/mL aprotinin.
B. Sample Preparation
Adherent Cells
1. Culture cells (one 10-cm plate, ~107 cells) to approximately 80-90% confluence. Stimulate the cells with activator or inhibitor as desired.
2. Aspirate the culture media and wash twice with ice-cold PBS.
3. Completely remove the final PBS wash and add ice-cold 1X Assay/Lysis Buffer (See Reagent Preparation) to the cells (0.5-1 mL per 10 cm tissue culture plate).
4. Place the culture plates on ice for 10-20 minutes.
5. Detach the cells from the plates by scraping with a cell scraper.
6. Transfer the lysates to appropriate size tubes and place on ice.
7. If nuclear lysis occurs, the cell lysates may become viscous and difficult to pipette. If this occurs, lysates can be passed through a 27?-gauge syringe needle 3-4 times to shear the genomic DNA.
8. Clear the lysates by centrifuging at 12,000 x g and 4°C for 10 minutes.
9. Collect the supernatant and store the sample (~1-2 mg of total protein) on ice for immediate use, or snap freeze and store at -70°C for future use.
