Fig. 6. Phosphorylation of S119 by PKA generates a 14-3-3 binding motif. (A)
Wild-type and S119A mutated recombinant PCTAIRE-1 proteins were bound to 9E10
beads, incubated either in the presence or absence of 1U PKA, followed by
incubation with GST-tagged 14-3-3
or
isoforms. The beads were
washed, and the bound material was analysed by western blotting using antisera
against PCTAIRE-1 (top panel) and GST (bottom panel). In lanes 5 and 6, 10% of
the input of the respective 14-3-3 proteins were applied. (B) Constructs
encoding wild-type or mutated YFP-tagged PCTAIRE-1 were transfected into
Neuro-2A cells. Two days after the transfection, the cells were lysed, the
YFP-tagged PCTAIRE-1 proteins were immunoprecipitated using a rabbit serum
against GFP, and the bound material was checked for the presence of 14-3-3
proteins and PCTAIRE-1 by western blotting using antisera against
14-3-3-proteins (pan) and PCTAIRE-1, respectively.
