Abstract |
Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) is an adapter protein involved in the Ras-dependent signaling pathway that plays an important role in human cancers initiated by oncogenic receptors. Grb2 is constituted by one Src homology 2 domain surrounded by two SH3 domains, and the inhibition of the interactions produced by these domains could provide an antitumor approach. In evaluating chemical libraries, to search for potential Grb2 inhibitors, it was necessary to elaborate a rapid test for their screening. We have developed, first, a batch method based on the use of an affinity column bearing a Grb2-SH3 peptide ligand to isolate highly purified Grb2. We subsequently describe a very rapid 96-well screening of inhibitors based on a simple competition between purified Grb2 and a peroxidase-coupled proline-rich peptide.
