Manufacturer	Cytoskeleton
Amount	1 x 100 ug
Quantity options	1 x 100 ug 1 x 1 mg
Category	Peptides & Proteins Recombinant Proteins
Type	Proteins
Specific against	other

ECLASS 10.1	32160409
ECLASS 11.0	32160409
UNSPSC	12352202
Shipping Condition	Room temperature
Available
Shipping Temperature	AT
Storage Conditions	On Arrival: 4°C The protein should be reconstituted to 50 uM (3.03 mg/ml) by the addition of 33 ?l of distilled water. The protein will be in the following buffer: 17 mM Tris pH 7.5, 17 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM MgCl₂ 2.3% sucrose, and 0.3% dextran. In order to maintain high biological activity of the protein, it is strongly recommended that the protein solution be aliquoted into "experiment sized" aliquots and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. The protein can be stored at -70C for 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The lyophilized protein is stable at 4C for 1 yearWhen stored desiccated (< 10% humidity).
Description	* Limited stock available. If stock is not available, Cytoskeleton will produce a new batch upon request. Minimum order will apply. Inquire for more information.
Weight (grams)	8
Product Uses	Study inhibitors of SOS1 GTP exchange activity Identification of SOS1 binding proteins Study of SOS1 GEF activity with different GTPases
Material	The human SOS1 exchange domain (564-1049) protein (SOS1-ExD) has been produced in a bacterial expression system. The recombinant protein contains a 6 histidine tag (His-tag) at its amino terminus. The approximate molecular weight of the SOS1-ExD protein is 61 kDa. The protein is supplied as a lyophilized white powder.
Biological Activity	Human SOS1 is an exchange factor for the small G-protein Ras.The biological activity of SOS1 can be determined from its ability to catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP on Ras. A standard biological assay for monitoring the catalytic activity of hSOS1 is an exchange assay utilizing the 2X Exchange Buffer from the RhoGEF exchange assay kit (Cat.# BK100).
Reagents	1. Recombinant Ras protein 2. Recombinant SOS1-ExD protein (Cat.# GE02) 3. 2x Exchange Buffer (40 mM Tris pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM MgCl₂ , 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 1.5 ?M mant-GTP) 4. Dilution Buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl₂ 0.1 mg/ml BSA)
Method	1. Dilute SOS1-ExD protein (Cat# GE02) to 6 ?M (0.36 mg/ml) with Dilution Buffer. 2. Dilute Ras to 50 ?M (1.1 mg/ml) with Dilution Buffer. 3. Dissolve lyophilized 2x Exchange Buffer in 5 ml Milli-Q water and keep at room temperature. 4. Set up the plate reader for kinetic fluorescence measurements (Excitation wavelength at 360 nm and emission wavelength at 440 nm) with readings every 30 seconds for 30 minutes. 5. Add the following components together and mix well by gentle pipeting: Exchange reaction mix / 96 well black plate 2x Exchange Buffer / 50 ?l dH2O / 36 ?l 50 ?M Ras / 4 ?l 6. Pipette 10 ?l of 6 ?M SOS1-ExD protein or Dilution Buffer in their respective wells and immediately pipette up and down twice and begin reading the fluorescence. 7. Once the readings are complete and the plate reader file has been saved, the exchange rate can be calculated by reducing the data to Vmax with the software that accompanies the plate reader.
Equipment needed	1. Fluorescence spectrometer (?ex=360nm, ?em=440nm) 2. Corning 96-well half area plates (Cat # 3686) or other plate with low protein binding surface.
Figure 1 Legend	His-hSOS1 (564-1049) Protein Purity Determination. A 20 ?g sample of recombinant SOS1-ExD protein (molecular weight approx. 61 kDa) was separated by electrophoresis in a 4-20% SDS-PAGE system. The protein was stained with Coomassie blue. Protein quantification was determined using the Precision Red Protein Assay Reagent (Cat.# ADV02). Mark12 molecular weight markers are from Invitrogen.
Figure 2 Legend	Figure 2. SOS1-ExD protein mediated mant-GTP exchange on Ras. Ras protein was added to the wells of a 96-well half area plate containing diluted Exchange Buffer and mixed well. To initiate the exchange reaction, SOS1-ExD protein (red triangles), or Dilution Buffer (grey triangles), was added to the wells, mixed, and fluorescence measurements were obtained using a Tecan SpectraFluor Plus Spectrophotometer. The average fluorescence data from duplicate assays were normalized to the fluorescence at the zero time point. The resulting data were plotted as the change in relative fluorescence units (?RFU) over time using GraphPad Prism software.
