Fig. 3. SOCS2 interaction with the peptide matching the Y1077 motif of the LR is phosphorylation dependent. FLAG-tagged SOCS2 was expressed in HEK293T cells and lysates were incubated with phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated peptides corresponding to the Y1077 or Y985 motif. Immunoblotting with anti-FLAG antibody revealed specific interaction of SOCS2 with the tyrosine-phosphorylated Y1077 motif.
