Biological Information
Background Information:
Binding of EGF or TGFa (transforming growth factor a) to the EGF receptor results in activation of intrinsic tryrosine kinase activity. Several cytosolic proteins are phosphorylated by the EGF receptor leading to activation of signalling pathways that induce mitogenesis and, in some instances, associated cell transformation

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant protein kinase EGFR expressed in insect cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 0.134 μg/ml enzyme‡ in modified HEPES buffer pH 7.4 for 15 minutes at 37°C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 0.2 mg/ml Poly(Glu:Tyr), 10 μM ATP and 0.25 μCi [γ32P]ATP for another 30 minute incubation period and terminated by further addition of 3% H3PO4. An aliquot is removed and counted to determine the amount of [32P]Poly(Glu:Tyr) formed. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
Substrate:
200 µg/ml Poly(Glu:Tyr)
