Fig. 4. CK1
is activated by Wnt-5a and binds Dvl2 in dopaminergic cells. (A) SN4741 cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with a control IgG or a CK1
-specific antibody and endogenous or overexpressed CK1
and detected by western blotting. (B) Wnt-3a and Wnt-5a increased the phosphorylation of MBP as detected by western blotting using a specific antibody against phosphorylated serine. Cell lysates from control (1% CHAPS), Wnt-3a or Wnt-5a treated (100 ng/ml) SN4741 cells were immunoprecipitated with a CK1
-specific antibody and subjected to kinase assay using MBP as a substrate. (C) Dvl2-Myc interacts with either CK1
(lane 2) or a kinase-dead CK1
(K>R) (lane 3) mutant in SN4741 cells, as assessed by immunoprecipitation and western blotting with Myc- and CK1
-specific antibodies. Co-precipiated CK1
by the Myc antibody is indicated by
. For all other panels:
, phosphorylated Dvl2-Myc;
, unphosphorylated Dvl2-Myc. (D) Dvl2-Myc interacts with endogenous CK1
as assessed by immunoprecipitation of SN4741 cells transfected with Dvl2-Myc only, by using Myc antibody-conjugated agarose beads (control, G-protein-conjugated beads). Data are representative of three independent replicates.
