Description
Summary:Summary: Kinases are indispensable signaling components. Radioactive-based phosphorylation assays are widely used but require specific protective equipment and safety trainings. Here, we present a Phos-tag-based non-radioactive kinase assay to study Arabidopsis kinase activities. We expressed and purified both kinase and substrate proteins from E. coli cells and then used the Phos-tag technology to detect the kinase activities under either different temperatures or chemical treatments. This non-radioactive approach is environmentally friendly and applicable to other kinases and organisms.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lin et al. (2022). : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
