Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for measuring interaction between CK2α and Nopp140 and a method for suppressing CK2 activation are provided to massively detect a compound without expensive cell culture stage. CONSTITUTION: A method for measuring interaction of CK2α and Nopp140 comprises: a step of fixing GST-CK2α protein on a multi-well plate; a step of treting Nopp140 protein; and a step of measuring the amount of Nopp140 bound to GST-CK2α. A method for screening an interaction regulating material of CK2 and Nopp140 comprises: a step of reacting CK2 subunit and a candidate of interaction regulation of CK2 and Nopp140 and InsP6(inositolhexakisphosphate); and a step of treating Nopp140 to a reacted material.
Abstract:
A screening method of a regulating agent for the signal transduction in BLT2 as a receptor of leukotriene B4 is provided to reduce the screening costs by eliminating a cell culture step by using purified protein and screening devices, so that candidate new drug substances for treating inflammatory disease are screened rapidly and inexpensively. A screening method of a regulating agent for the signal transduction in BLT2 comprises the steps of: (1) preparing BLT2 protein or protein containing an intracellular loop 3(iL3) region of BLT2; (2) preparing alpha subunit protein of G protein(Galpha); (3) reacting the prepared protein of step (1) with the protein of step (2) in the presence of a testing compound, and measuring the interaction between proteins; and (4) comparing the measured interaction with that of a contrast which is measured in the absence of the testing compound, wherein the BLT2 protein is a fusion protein of protein purification-facilitating regions including N-terminal T7 tag and C-terminal His-tag and a BLT2 region; and the protein containing an intracellular loop 3(iL3) region of BLT2 is a fusion protein of a protein purification-facilitating region such as GST(glutathione-S-transferase) and a BLT2 iL3 region. Further, the alpha subunit protein of G protein(Galpha) is alpha subunit protein of Gi3 protein.
