Expression and Activity of PK12:HA and Its Derivatives in Transgenic Plant Lines.
(A) Protein gel blot analysis. Equal amounts of total protein were fractionated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with antibodies raised against HA. Four homozygous independent lines with high (lines 9 and 10) and low (lines 1 and 11) wild-type PK12:HA ex-pression levels, and homozygous lines that highly express mutant PK12K125R:HA or PK12RAQ:HA, are shown.
(B) In vitro kinase assay. PK12:HA and its mutant variants were immunoprecipitated from the transgenic lines as shown in (A). The immunoprecipitate then was subjected to an in vitro kinase assay using MBP as a substrate.
