Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SHP2 Allosteric Inhibition Assay
Description:  More specifically, the phosphatase reactions were performed at room temperature in 384-well black polystyrene plate, flat bottom, low flange, non-binding surface (Corning, Cat#3575) using a final reaction volume of 25 μL and the following assay buffer conditions: 60 mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 75 mM NaCl, 75 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% P-20, 5 mM DTT. The inhibition of SHP2 by compounds of the invention (concentrations varying from 0.003-100 μM) was monitored using an assay in which 0.5 nM of SHP2 was incubated with of 0.5 μM of peptide IRS1_pY1172(dPEG8)pY1222 (sequence: H2N-LN(pY)IDLDLV(dPEG8)LST(pY)ASINFQK-amide) (SEQ ID NO:1). After 30-60 minutes incubation at 25° C., the surrogate substrate DiFMUP (Invitrogen, cat# D6567) was added to the reaction and incubated at 25° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 5 μl of a 160 μM solution of bpV(Phen) (Enzo Life Sciences cat# ALX-270-204). The fluorescence signal was monitored using a microplate reader (Envision, Perki-Elmer) using excitation and emission wavelengths of 340 nm and 450 nm, respectively. The inhibitor dose response curves were analyzed using normalized IC50 regression curve fitting with control based normalization.
