Description

The kit provides a means of performing kinase activity assays with recombinant full-length human SGK3 kinase. It includes active SGK3 kinase (supplied as a GST fusion protein), a biotinylated peptide substrate and a phospho-serine/threonine antibody for detection of the phosphorylated form of the substrate peptide.

Molecular Weights

Peptide substrate, Biotin-PLK (Ser137): 1,945 Daltons. GST-SGK3 Kinase: 83 kDa.

Source / Purification

The GST-Kinase fusion protein was produced using a baculovirus expression system with a construct expressing full-length human SGK3 (Met1-Leu496) (GenBank Accession No. NM_013257.3) with an amino-terminal GST tag. The protein was purified by one-step affinity chromatography using glutathione-agarose.

Quality Control

The substrate peptide was selected using our Serine/Threonine Kinase Substrate Screening Kit #7400. Phospho-PLK (Ser137) Antibody #5070 was used for detection. The quality of the biotinylated peptide was evaluated by reverse-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry.Purified SGK3 kinase was quality controlled for purity by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie stain and Western blot. The specific activity of the SGK3 kinase was determined using a radiometric filter binding assay [Fig.1]. Time course [Fig.2], kinase dose dependency [Fig.3] and substrate dose dependency [Fig.4] assays were performed to verify SGK3 activity using the SGK3 substrate peptide provided in this kit. SGK3 sensitivity to the inhibitor staurosporine was measured using the SGK3 substrate peptide provided in this kit [Fig.5].

Background

Serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase (SGK) is a serine/threonine kinase closely related to Akt (1). SGK is rapidly induced in response to a variety of stimuli, including serum, glucocorticoid, follicle stimulating hormone, osmotic shock and mineralocorticoids. SGK activation can be accomplished via HGF PI3K-dependent pathways and by integrin-mediated PI3K-independent pathways (2,3). Induction and activation of SGK has been implicated in activating the modulation of antiapoptotic and cell cycle regulation (4-6). SGK also plays an important role in activating certain potassium, sodium and chloride channels, suggesting its involvement in the regulation of processes such as cell survival, neuronal excitability and renal sodium excretion (2). SGK is negatively regulated by ubiquitin modification and proteasome degradation (7).
