Source / Purification

The GST-kinase fusion protein was produced using a baculovirus expression system with a construct expressing human Abl1 T315I (Pro118-Ser553) (GenBank Accession No. NM_005157) 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 by screening Tyrosine Kinase Substrate Screening Kit #7450. Phospho-Tyrosine mAb (P-Tyr-100) #9411 was used for detection. The quality of the biotinylated peptides was evaluated by reverse-phase HPLC and by mass spectrometry.Purified Abl1 T315I kinase was quality controlled for purity by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie stain. Abl1 T315I kinase activity 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 Abl1 T315I activity using the Abl1 T315I substrate peptide provided in this kit. Abl1 T315I sensitivity to the inhibitor staurosporine and Gleevec was measured using the Abl1 T315I substrate peptide provided in this kit [Fig.5].

Background

The c-Abl proto-oncogene encodes a nonreceptor type protein tyrosine kinase that is ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved in metazoan evolution. c-Abl protein is distributed in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of cells. It is implicated in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion and stress responses (1-3). c-Abl kinase activity is increased in vivo by diverse physiological stimuli including integrin activation, PDGF stimulation and binding to c-Jun, Nck and RFX1 (2,4). The in vivo mechanism of regulation of c-Abl kinase activity is not completely understood. Tyr245 is located in the linker region between the SH2 and catalytic domains. This positioning is conserved among Abl family members. Phosphorylation of Tyr245 is involved in the activation of c-Abl kinase (5). In addition, phosphorylation of Tyr412 which is located in the kinase activation loop of c-Abl is required for kinase activity (6). Thr735 is located within a conserved 14-3-3 protein binding motif region, and can be phosphorylated upon stress stimulation or TPA treatment (Wu, J. et al. unpublished data). Phosphorylation at Thr735 may play an important role in regulating c-Abl localization as well as its function.

Imatinib (Gleevec) has been successfully used to treat Bcr-Abl kinase associated chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The most frequently identified mutation associated with resistance to Gleevec in CML patients is T315I in the Abl kinase domain (7,8).
