| | SHP2 Allosteric Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | SHP2 possesses two N-terminal Src homology 2 (SH2) domains, a central protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) domain, and C-terminal tail. At the basal state, SHP2 is auto-inhibited and access of substrates to the catalytic site is blocked by the intermolecular interactions between the SH2 domains and the PTP domain. When bis-tyrosyl-phosphorylated peptides bind to SH2 domain of SHP2, the PTP domain becomes available for substrate recognition and reaction catalysis and SHP2 is allosterically activated. SHP2 catalytic activity can be measured using a fluorogenic artificial substrate DiFMUP.The phosphatase reactions were carried out at room temperature in 384-well black polystyrene plates (Greiner Bio-One, Cat #784076) using assay buffers containing 60 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 75 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% P-20, and 5 mM DTT.0.33 nM of SHP2 was co-incubated with of 0.5 μM of bisphos-IRS 1 peptide (sequence: H2N-LN(pY)IDLDLV(dPEG8)LST(pY)ASINFQK-amide) and various concentrations of compounds for 30-60 min at room temperature. Then the reaction was initiated by addition of the surrogate substrate DiFMUP (Invitrogen, Cat #D6567, 100 uM final).The real-time conversion of DiFMUP to DiFMU (6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxyl-4-methyl-coumarin) was measured every 5 min for 30 min using a microplate reader (CLARIOstar, BMG Labtech) with excitation and emission wavelengths of 340 nm and 450 nm, respectively. Initial reaction rates were determined by linear fitting of the data and the inhibitor dose response curves were analyzed using normalized IC50 regression curve fitting with control-based normalization. |
