Protocol for phospho-SrcKD: rPTPεD1 complex preparation and BLI binding assays to demonstrate their exosite interface.

Here, we present a protocol for the in vitro phosphorylation of Src kinase domain (SrcKD), preparation of phospho-SrcKD in complex with the D1 domain of rPTP epsilon (rPTPεD1), and binding assays using biolayer interferometry (BLI). We describe steps for the in vitro phosphorylation of SrcKD and preparation of the phospho-SrcKD: rPTPεD1 complex for small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. We then detail instructions for the BLI binding assay to determine the binding affinity between phospho-SrcKD and rPTPεD1. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to EswarKumar et al.(1).
