Lambda Protein Phosphatase is a Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase with activity towards phosphorylated serine, threonine and tyrosine residues. 

  • Dual specificity: can be used to release phosphate groups from phosphorylated serine, threonine and tyrosine residues in proteins
  • Recombinant enzyme with no detectable DNase, RNase or protease contaminating activities
  • Optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
Lambda Protein Phosphatase (Lambda PP) is a Mn2+-dependent protein phosphatase with activity towards phosphorylated serine, threonine and tyrosine residues. It is the 221 amino-acid product of the ORF221 open reading frame on bacteriophage lambda (1,2).
Highlights
  • Dual Specificity: protein serine/threonine/tyrosine phosphatase 
  • Bacteriophage lambda, recombinant (E. coli)
    • Product Source
    Isolated from a strain of E. coli that carries the bacteriophage lambda ORF221 open reading frame under the control of a T7 expression system.

    Notes
    • The following information can be used as suggested initial conditions for dephosphorylation of proteins with Lambda PP.
    • 100 units of Lambda PP remove ~100% of phosphates (0.5 nmol) in phosphorylated myelin basic protein (phospho-MyBP, 18.5 kDa) in 30 minutes in a 50 µl reaction. The concentration of phospho-MyBP is 10 µM with respect to phosphate.
    • The Protein Serine/threonine Phosphatase (PSP) activity of Lambda PP is assessed on MyBP phosphorylated exclusively on serine/threonine residues with cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase. The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) activity is assessed on MyBP phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine residues with Abl Protein Tyrosine Kinase.
    • Lambda PP is active on phosphorylated histidine residues (2).
    • 0ptimal incubation times and enzyme concentrations must be determined empirically for each particular substrate. 
    • If the source of phosphorylated protein is a crude extract of cells or tissue, it is very important to include the appropriate protease inhibitors in the lysis buffer and to use shorter incubation time for dephosphorylation.
    • The following levels of inhibition of Lambda PP (100 units) are found when the reaction buffer and MnCl2 are supplemented with: 
      • 10 mM Sodium Orthovanadate (3): 80% 
      • 10 mM Sodium Orthovanadate, 50 mM Sodium Fluoride: 90%
      • 50 mM EDTA: 95% 
      • 1% Triton X-100: no 
      • 0.4% Nonidet P-40: no 
      • 0.025% Tween 20: no 
      • 0.5 M NaCl: 5% 
      • ATP Mix (10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM ATP): no
      • Protease Inhibitor Cocktail*: 10% 

      *Pepstatin A, leupeptin and aprotinin, 10 µg/ml each, 0.5 mM PMSF and 1 mM benzamidine
