    Application Features

    • Lambda PP can be used to release phosphate groups from phosphorylated serine, threonine and tyrosine residues in proteins. Note that different proteins are dephosphorylated at different rates.

    Product Notes

    1. 100 units of Lambda PP remove ~100% of phosphates (0.5 nmol) in phosphorylated myelin basic protein (phospho-MyBP, 18.5 kDa) in 30 minutes in a 50 µl reaction. The concentration of phospho-MyBP is 10 µM with respect to phosphate.
    2. The Protein Serine/threonine Phosphatase (PSP) activity of Lambda PP is assessed on MyBP phosphorylated exclusively on serine/threonine residues with cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase. The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) activity is assessed on MyBP phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine residues with Abl Protein Tyrosine Kinase.
    3. Lambda PP is active on phosphorylated histidine residues (2).
    4. Optimal incubation times and enzyme concentrations must be determined empirically for each particular substrate.
    5. If the source of phosphorylated protein is a crude extract of cells or tissue, it is very important to include the appropriate protease inhibitors in the lysis buffer and to use shorter incubation time for dephosphorylation.
    6. The following levels of inhibition of Lambda PP (100 units) are found when the reaction buffer and MnCl2 are supplemented with: 
      • 10 mM Sodium Orthovanadate (3): 80% 
      • 10 mM Sodium Orthovanadate, 50 mM Sodium Fluoride: 90%
      • 50 mM EDTA: 95% 
      • 1% Triton X-100: no 
      • 0.4% Nonidet P-40: no 
      • 0.025% Tween 20: no 
      • 0.5 M NaCl: 5% 
      • ATP Mix (10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM ATP): no
      • Protease Inhibitor Cocktail*: 10% 

      *Pepstatin A, leupeptin and aprotinin, 10 µg/ml each, 0.5 mM PMSF and 1 mM benzamidine
