Abstract: The present invention provides a method for screening compounds for their ability to inhibit autophosphorylation of Janus kinase 3 in the absence of any additional substrate. The present invention also provides a method for screening compounds that bind to Janus kinase 3 domains other than the kinase domain, to identify synthetic or natural compounds including biomolecules, that modulate Janus kinase 3 activity. This invention also describes a multi-component screening kit composed of purified recombinant Janus kinase 3 proteins and recombinant phosphorylated Janus kinase 3 fusion proteins including, one or more phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated domain-deleted Janus kinase 3 fusion proteins.

Abstract: Janus Kinase 3 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that mediates signals initiated by cytokines through interactions with the receptors of cytokines. Abnormal activation of Jak3 was associated with human hematologic and epithelial malignancies. Inhibitors of Jak3 have shown utility in many different disease such as autoimmune disorders, allograft rejection during transplantation, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and allergy and asthma. Since these inhibitors make their way into clinical trials with profound effects, it is essential to develop a sensitive, precise, and rugged screening tool to screen synthetic compounds or other biomolecules that has the potential to modulate Jak3 functions and hence treat a wide variety of diseases. Present invention relates to novel high throughput system for finding previously unknown Jak3 interacting compounds, human biomolecule (e.g. proteins or others), and those compounds that can inhibit Jak3 activations.
