| Description: | SHP2 activity was monitored by measuring the conversion of the surrogate substrate 6,8-difluoromethylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP) to the fluorescent product, 6,8-difluoromethylumbelliferone (DiFMU).SHP2 was pre-incubated with test compounds and the activating peptide pIRS1 (H2N-LN(pY)IDLDLV-(PEG)8-LST(pY)ASINFQK-amide) for 30 min, prior to addition of the 6,8-difluoromethylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP), (Thermo Fisher D6567). Final assay concentrations were 10 μM SHP2, 0.25 μM pIRS1 peptide, 50 μM DiFMUP, 25 mM Bis-Tris propane, pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% (v/v) Tween-20, 0.5 mM TCEP and 5% (v/v) DMSO. Rates of reaction were then measured over 30 min by monitoring fluorescence on a BMG Pherastar reader at excitation 360 nm/emission 450 nm. IC50 values were calculated from the normalized dose-response plots using four parameter logistic curve fit. |
