Biological Information
Background Information:
The insulin receptor kinase (IRK) is composed of two extracellular a-subunits (135 kDa), which contain the insulin-binding site, and two intracellular b-subunits (95 kDa), containing the protein tyrosine kinase domain. After insulin binding, the insulin-IRK complex internalizes into muscle and fat cells. The IRK substrates of IRS-1 and IRS-2 form complexes, through Src homology region 2 (SH2) domains, with docking molecules such as phosphoinositde-3-kinase (PI3K). The recruitment of PI3K in turn activates phosphoinositide-dependent kinases, which serve in the activation of protein kinase B (Akt) and atypical isoforms of protein kinase C (PKC). These activated kinases then phosphorylate downstream effectors, ultimately promoting the translocation of insulin-sensitive glucose transporter subtype 4 (GLUT-4) to the plasma membrane, to operate in the coordination of glucose metabolism.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
IR, activated (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 1 mM Na3VO4, 5 mM Na-b-glycerophosphate, 500 µM KKKSPGEYVNIEFG, 10 mM MgAcetate and [gamma-33P]-ATP (specific activity and concentration as required). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the Mg/ATP mix. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, the reaction is stopped by the addition of phosphoric acid to a concentration of 0.5%. An aliquot of the reaction is then spotted onto a filter and washed four times for 4 minutes in 0.425% phosphoric acid and once in methanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.
Substrate:
500 µM KKKSPGEYVNIEFG
Tracer:
33P
ATP Concentration:
[ATP]= 45µM (Km= 40.2µM )
Incubation:
40 min at Room temperature
Control Inhibitor:
Staurosporine
Test Sample Requirements:
Please provide compounds dissolved in 100% DMSO (PBS or HBSS prohibited).
Stock solution should be ≥50× the final assay concentration (a 10 mM stock is also acceptable).
Required volume:
– <60 kinase assays: 120 µL of 50× stock
– ≥60 assays: 420 µL of 50× stock
If you supply 10 mM stocks or powder (pre-weighed), we will apply the appropriate conversion.
For batches of ~50 compounds supplied as solids, the TAT will be extended.
