Source / Purification

The GST-Kinase fusion protein was produced using a baculovirus expression system with a construct expressing a fragment of human PDGFRbeta (Gln557-Leu1106) (GenBank Accession No. NM_002609) 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 Mouse 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 PDGFRbeta kinase was quality controlled for purity by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie stain and Western blot. The specific activity of the PDGFRbeta 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 PDGFbeta activity using the PDGFRbeta substrate peptide provided in this kit. PDGFRbeta sensitivity to the inhibitor staurosporine was measured using the PDGFRbeta substrate peptide provided in this kit [Fig.5].

Background

The proteins of the platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) family exist as several disulphide-bonded, dimeric isoforms (PDGF AA, PDGF AB, PDGF BB, PDGF CC and PDGF DD) that bind in a specific pattern to two closely related receptor tyrosine kinases, PDGF receptor α (PDGFRα) and PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ). PDGFRα and PDGFRβ share 75% to 85% sequence homology between their two intracellular kinase domains while the kinase insert and carboxy-terminal tail regions display a lower level (27% to 28%) of homology (1). PDGF Receptor α homodimers bind all PDGF isoforms except those containing PDGF D. PDGF Receptor β homodimers bind PDGF BB and DD isoforms, as well as the PDGF AB heterodimer. The heteromeric PDGFα/β receptor binds PDGF B, C, and D homodimers as well as the PDGF AB heterodimer (2). PDGFRα and PDGFRβ can each form heterodimers with EGFR, which is also activated by PDGF (3). Various cells differ in the total number of receptors present and in the receptor subunit composition, which may account for responsive differences among cell types to PDGF binding (4). Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, followed by binding and activation of cytoplasmic SH2 domain-containing signal transduction molecules such as Grb2, Src, GAP, PI3 kinase, PLCγ and Nck. A number of different signaling pathways are initiated by activated PDGF receptors and lead to control of cell growth, actin reorganization, migration and differentiation (5). Tyr751 in the kinase-insert region of PDGFRβ is the docking site for PI3 kinase (6). Phosphorylated pentapeptides derived from Tyr751 of PDGFRβ (pTyr751-Val-Pro-Met-Leu) inhibit the association of the carboxy-terminal SH2 domain of the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase with PDGFRβ (7). Tyr740 is also required for PDGFRβ mediated PI3 kinase activation (8).
