| Description: | SHP2 is allosterically activated through binding of bis-tyrosyl-phorphorylated peptides to its Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains. The latter activation step leads to the release of the auto-inhibitory interface of SHP2, which in turn renders the SHP2 protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) active and available for substrate recognition and reaction catalysis. The catalytic activity of SHP2 was monitored using the surrogate substrate DiFMUP in a prompt fluorescence assay format.The inhibition of SHP2 by compounds of the disclosure (concentrations varying from 0.003-100 μM) was monitored using an assay in which 0.25 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) After 30-60 minutes incubation at 25° C., the surrogate substrate DiFMUP (Invitrogen, cat #D6567, 100 μM final) was added to the reaction and the conversion of DiFMUP to 6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxyl-4-methyl coumarin (DiFMU) was monitored continuously for 10 minutes with excitation at 355 nm and emission at 460 nm using a microplate reader (PolarStar, BMG). |
