Consideration of Eqs.[1] and [2] illustrate the transient nature of protection by a reversible inhibitor (I) from labeling by an irreversible one, which is the principal liability of the FSBA protection method. For example, if the concentration of FSBA is fixed at 0.1 Kb (its reversible binding constant) and klab 1 min 1 then 83% of the enzyme is labeled in a 10-min reaction. Including a reversible inhibitor at a concentration fourfold its KI only reduces the amount of labeled kinase to 32%. The experimental implications are clear from Fig. 1: millimolar amounts of ATP are required to block the irreversible labeling by FSBA. Thus the lack of observable competition by 5 mM ATP during labeling of BSA and ERK2 may owe to low affinity for ATP or to labeling outside of the ATP binding site; the data in Fig. 1 do not allow a distinction to be made. Hence there are limited conditions under which protection from labeling will be observed experimentally; ie, one must label enough enzyme to detect but not so much that protection will be undetectable. The transient protection provided by reversible inhibitors and the kinetic heterogeneity of protein kinase labeling reactions must be considered when interpreting data from labeling protection experiments. Nonetheless, researchers armed with an awareness of these limitations can use protection from FSBA labeling to assess mode of inhibition and inhibitor specificity in mixtures of protein kinases at nanomolar concentrations, as we have reported here.Acknowledgments.
