Biological Information

Background Information:

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) superfamily consists of 23 members, all of which contain a conserved 120 amino acid (aa) core region that contains six identical, interspersed amino acids. Based on the pI factor, two main groups of FGF are named: acidic FGF (aFGF) and basic FGF (bFGF). The superfamily members act extracellularly through four tyrosine kinase FGF receptors (FGFR1 through FGFR4), with multiple specificities noted for almost all FGFs. Biological binding of aFGF to its receptors will result in phosphorylation of the receptor and non-receptor proteins and generate its function. Overexpression and amplification of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR-1), a prototypic receptor tyrosine kinase, have been found in tumor samples from human pancreas, breast, brain, prostate, thyroid gland, and salivary gland.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant protein kinase FGFR1 expressed in insect Sf21 cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 70 mU/ml enzyme‡ in modified HEPES buffer pH 7.4 for 15 minutes at 37°C. The reaction is initiated by addition of 200 µg/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.
