BackgroundThe c-Abl proto-oncogene was isolated as the normal cellular counterpart of the Abelson murine leukemia virus oncogene, v-Abl. The Abl tyrosine kinase family is comprised of Abl and Arg (Abelson-related gene), which are nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in cellular responses resulting from growth factor stimulation, integrin activation, and various types of stress. The N-terminal region of c-Abl contains tandem Src homology 3 (SH3), SH2, and SH1 domains. In contrast to other nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, the C-terminus of c-Abl contains G- and F-actin binding domains (FABD), three nuclear localization sequences (NLS), one nuclear export sequence (NES), and three high-mobility-group-like boxes (HLB) that cooperatively bind to A/T-rich DNA regions. The human c-Abl protein is ubiquitously expressed as two 145 kDa isoforms (1a and 1b) as a result of alternate splicing of the first two exons. The 1a form is mostly cytoplasmic while the 1b form is myristoylated at the N-terminus and found predominantly in the nucleus. In contrast, the oncogenic Bcr-Abl and v-Abl proteins do not enter the nucleus. Moreover, in mammalian cells c-Abl exhibits different sub-cellular localization depending on the cell type. In fibroblasts c-Abl is found predominantly in the nucleus, while in primary haematopoietic cells and neurons it is largely found in the cytoplasm. The crystal structure of regulated Abl closely resembles that seen in structures of regulated Src-family kinases, but with unique differences. Binding of myristate to a hydrophobic pocket in the kinase domain induces a defined conformational change that enables intramolecular docking of the SH2 domain to the kinase domain, thereby enforcing an autoinhibited conformation. Nuclear c-Abl plays a role in transcription regulation, especially in response to DNA damage by ionizing radiation (IR) and DNA cross-linking agents, but not by UV radiation. In the nucleus, ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated protein (ATM) binds the SH3 domain of c-Abl and upon exposure to IR activates c-Abl by phosphorylating it at Ser465. Overexpression of c-Abl in fibroblasts leads to formation of a p53/c-Abl complex that stimulates p53 activity, resulting in G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In the cytoplasm, c-Abl is activated by growth factors and cell adhesion, localizing to regions of the cytoskeleton that include various F-actin structures such as focal adhesions, pseudopodia, lamellipodia, filopodia, membrane ruffles, and neuronal extensions and synapses. PDGF-dependent activation of c-Abl requires both Src family kinases and PLC-γ (PLC-γ1 in fibroblasts). Src phosphorylates c-Abl at Tyr412 in the activation loop, while PLC-γ is proposed to reduce PIP2 levels to activate c-Abl. Cell-adhesion-mediated activation is dependent on mechanisms that override the negative effect of F-actin. FABD keeps c-Abl in the inactive conformation in detached cells. Once activated c-Abl phosphorylates substrate proteins to regulate various F-actin-based processes, such as membrane ruffling, filopodial exploration, neurite extension and cell migration.

Detailed protocol1. Prepare cell lysate from monolayer cells, suspension cells, or cell pellets using 0.5 ml PhosphoSafe™ Lysis Reagent (or equivalent cell lysis buffer containing phosphatase inhibitors) per 1 x 107 cells and proceed with the lysis per the manufacturer's user protocol. 2. Centrifuge for 5 min at 16,000 x g at 4°C to pellet the insoluble cellular debris. Transfer the supernatant to a clean tube. 3. Pre-clear lysate by adding 25 µl Protein G-Agarose per ml cell lysate. Place the tube on a rocker and mix (end-to-end) for 1 h at 4°C. 4. Centrifuge for 5 min at 16,000 x g at 4°C to pellet the Protein G-Agarose. Transfer the supernatant to a clean tube. 5. Add 2.5 µg Anti-Abl mouse mAb per ml cell lysate and mix on a rocker (end-to-end) overnight at 4°C. 6. Add 25 µl Protein G-Agarose per ml cell lysate and mix on a rocker (end-to-end) for 1 h at 4°C. 7. Centrifuge for 5 min at 16,000 x g at 4°C to pellet the Abl-antibody-Protein G-Agarose complex. Discard the supernatant. 8. Add 1 ml 1X Wash Buffer, invert several times to mix, and centrifuge for 5 min at 16,000 x g at 4°C to pellet the complex; remove the supernatant and discard. Repeat for a total of 5 washes. 9. Resuspend pellet in appropriate buffer for further assay. Appropriate buffers include assay buffer (e.g., ± inhibitor) for activity assays or SDS-PAGE sample buffer for immunoblot analysis.
Assay characteristics and examplesK-562 cells (for Bcr-Abl) were grown in RPMI with 10% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine. NIH3T3 cells (c-Abl knockout) were transfected with empty vector (Abl⁻) or vector containing c-Abl (Abl+) and grown in DMEM with 10% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine. Cell lysates were prepared using PhosphoSafe™ Lysis Reagent and immunoprecipitated as indicated in the Detailed Protocol above. Activities were measured using the K-LISA™ PTK Screening Kit recommended protocol and a K-LISA™ PTK EAY Reaction Plate. For staurosporine inhibition studies (Figure 6), the inhibitor was pre-incubated with immunoprecipitated c-Abl in reaction buffer for 15 min at room temperature before addition of ATP to initiate the activity assay.
