Biological Information

Background Information:

Human EGF receptor 2 (HER2, ERBB2) tyrosine kinase is an EGF receptor-related protein tyrosine kinase which is overexpressed in many mammary and ovarian carcinomas. Binding of the ligand to the receptor is believed to activate the receptor’s intrinsic protein kinase activity, initiating a signal transduction pathway which leads to increased cell proliferation. Truncated HER2, lacking the extracellular and transmembrane regions, is constitutively active. The active kinase transfers g-phosphates of ATP to the phenolic hydroxyl of specific tyrosine residues on target proteins.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant protein kinase ERBB2 (HER2) expressed in insect cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is with 1.1 μg/ml enzyme‡ in modified Tris buffer pH 7.5 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 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)
