Inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation of
endogenous FAK by FRNK mutants. (A and C) Control CE cells (lanes 1–3)
or CE cells expressing wild-type FRNK (lanes 4–6) or
FRNKE255/K262/R269 (A, lanes 7–9),
FRNKV261/L268 (A, lanes 10–12), FRNKE291/K295
(A, lanes 13–15), FRNKE289/N298D/D300 (C, lanes 7–9),
FRNKH332/K339 (C, lanes 10–12), or
FRNKL334/L341 (C, lanes 13–15) were analyzed. Adherent
cells (A) (A and C, lanes 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13) or cells held in
suspension (S) (lanes 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14) or cells plated onto
fibronectin (F) (lanes 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15) were lysed and endogenous
FAK was immunoprecipitated by using BC2. The immune complexes were
analyzed by Western blotting for phosphotyrosine (A and C, top). The
blots were stripped and reprobed for FAK (A and C, bottom). (B and D)
Twenty-five micrograms of cell lysate was analyzed for FRNK expression
by Western blotting with BC4.
