Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor protein has been purified in a single high-yield step by immunoaffinity chromatography of extracts of A431 cells. A monoclonal antibody directed against the EGF binding site of the receptor was immobilized to Sepharose 4B as a specific immune absorbent and competitive elution with EGF was used to obtain purified EGF receptor protein with tyrosine kinase activity. The stoichiometry of EGF binding was determined by comparing 125I-EGF binding to A431 cells with the mass of EGF receptor protein in those cells as measured by immunoaffinity chromatography, radioimmunoassay, and immune precipitation. Each measurement indicated one EGF binding site/EGF receptor protein molecule. Study of the kinetics of autophosphorylation revealed rapid incorporation of 1 mol of phosphate/mol of enzyme followed by slower incorporation of additional phosphate groups. The autophosphorylation reaction has a Km for ATP (0.2 microM) which is about 10-fold lower than that for phosphorylation of exogenous substrates. The kinetically preferred autophosphorylation is an intramolecular reaction.
