Biological Information

Background Information:

Two high affinity VEGF receptors, FLT1 (VEGFR-1, activated by placental growth factor PlGF) and KDR (Flk-1/VEGFR-2, activated by VEGF), have been identified. These receptors can be divided into three structural regions: seven extracellular Ig-like domains that contain the growth factor binding sites, a single polypeptide chain hydrophobic trans-membrane sequence, and intracellular cytoplasmic domains that confer the tyrosine kinase activity required for signal transduction. VEGF-B and VEGF-D homologues bind with high affinity to FLT1 (fms-related tyrosine kinase 1, vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor receptor).

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant protein kinase Flt-1 expressed in insect Sf21 cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 200 ng/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 0.05 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.
