Assay Conditions: Assay was done in kinasebuffer containing 1 mM DTT using Poly-(Glu4:Tyr) substrate (0.2 mg/ml) and 20 µMATP. Reaction was done at 30°C for 45 min.Amount of ATP transferred was calculatedusing Kinase-Glo reagent (Promega).
Background: c-MER is a tyrosine kinase and a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family (1). The c-MER gene encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Functional knockout of c-MER in mice shows the mice to have macrophages deficient in the clearance of apoptotic thymocytes thereby demonstrating the critical role for c-MER in the engulfment and efficient clearance of apoptotic cells. Defects in c-MER have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa, a phenotype that can be reversed by replacement of the c-MER gene product (2).
