Source / Purification

The GST-Kinase fusion protein was produced using a baculovirus expression system with a construct expressing a fragment of human FGFR-3 (Glu322-Thr806) (GenBank Accession No. NM_000142) 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 Tyrosine Kinase Substrate Screening Kit #7450. Phospho-Tyrosine mAb (P-Tyr-100) #9411 was used for detection. The quality of the biotinylated peptide was evaluated by reverse-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry.Purified FGFR-3 kinase was quality controlled for purity by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie stain and Western blot. The specific activity of the FGFR-3 kinase was determined using a radiometric assay [Fig.1]. Time course [Fig.2], kinase dose dependency [Fig.3] and substrate dose-dependency [Fig.4] assays were performed to verify FGFR-3 activity using the FGFR-3 substrate peptide provided in this kit. FGFR-3 sensitivity to the inhibitor staurosporine was measured using the FGFR-3 substrate peptide provided in this kit [Fig.5].

Background

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) produce mitogenic and angiogenic effects in target cells by signaling through cell surface receptor tyrosine kinases. There are four members of the FGF receptor family: FGFR-1 (flg), FGFR-2 (bek, KGFR), FGFR-3 and FGFR-4. Each receptor contains an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic kinase domain (1). Following ligand binding and dimerization, the receptors are phosphorylated at specific tyrosine residues (2). Seven tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of FGFR-1 can be phosphorylated: Tyr463, Tyr583, Tyr585, Tyr653, Tyr654, Tyr730 and Tyr766. Tyrosines 653 and 654 are important for catalytic activity of activated FGFR and are essential for signaling (3). The other phosphorylated tyrosine residues may provide docking sites for downstream signaling components such as Crk and PLCγ (4,5).
