Measuring Sphingosine-1-Phosphate/Protein Interactions
with the Kinetic Exclusion Assay
Jonathan K. Fleming and Jonathan M. Wojciak
Abstract
®
By directly detecting the ligand-free binding sites in a sample, the kinetic exclusion assay (KinExA )
providesacompellingalternativetoSPR-basedtechniquesfordeterminingequilibriumdissociationcon-
stants of protein-ligand interactions. It is especially useful for observing protein-lipid interactions, as
binding of native lipids occurs entirely in solution, and monoclonal antibodies can be used to directly
compete with a protein of interest for lipid binding. By measuring the antigen-free binding sites on the
antibodyandusingcompetitionaffinityanalysis,theK forthelipidbindingtheproteinandtheantibody

1 Introduction
Theabilitytodetermineaccurate,reliableequilibriumdissociation
constants for proteins binding lysophospholipids, such as S1P, is
challengingduetoitslackofinherenttraceablecharacteristics(e.g.,
fluorescence or UV/Vis absorption). Modifying S1P either by
covalently attaching bulky tags or derivatization potentially alters
the solubility properties and/or natural mode of protein recogni-
tion [1]. In addition, binding studies that rely on physical separa-
tion of free and bound S1P species can be difficult because S1P
demonstrates poor solubility properties in aqueous media. The
aqueous media is, however, necessary to support the structure
and function of the protein. To overcome these issues, typically
S1P is delivered in complex with fatty acid-free bovine serum
albumin (FAF-BSA) [2]. However, the intrinsic affinity of FAF-
BSAforS1P(orotherlysophospholipids)mayconfoundthebind-
ing event being investigated and is seldom considered while inter-
pretingthedata.
The KinExA approach described here both overcomes the
challenges described above for studying protein-lipid interactions
and elucidates the effect of using carrier proteins to deliver
