| | Allosteric Inhibition Assay |
| Description: | SHP2 is allosterically activated through binding of bis-tyrosyl-phorphorylated peptides to its Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains. The latter activation step leads to the release of the auto-inhibitory interface of SHP2, which in turn renders the SHP2 protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) active and available for substrate recognition and reaction catalysis. The catalytic activity of SHP2 is monitored using the surrogate substrate DiFMUP in a prompt fluorescence assay format.More specifically, the phosphatase reactions re performed at room temperature in 96-well black polystyrene plate, flat bottom, low flange, non-binding surface (Corning, Cat #3575) using a final reaction volume of 50 μl and the following assay buffer conditions: 60 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 75 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA 0.005% Brij-35, 5 mM DTT. |
