GSK-3 phosphorylation of C/EBPα and C/EBPβ is inhibited by LANA. (A) HeLa cells transfected with Flag-C/EBPα, HA-GSK-3β, and GFP-LANA, as indicated, were metabolically labeled for 4 h with [32P]orthophosphate 2 days posttransfection. Flag-C/EBPα was immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag M2 affinity beads and subjected to Western blotting to detect Flag-C/EBPα (lower) and to autoradiography to detect 32P-labeled C/EBPα (upper). Detection of phosphorylated Flag-C/EBPα required cotransfection with HA-GSK-3β (lane 3), and this phosphorylation was blocked by cotransfected LANA (lane 5). (B) HeLa cells transfected with Flag-C/EBPβ, HA-GSK-3β, and GFP-LANA, as indicated, were metabolically labeled with [32P]orthophosphate as described above. Flag-C/EBPβ was immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag M2 affinity beads and subjected to Western blotting to detect Flag-C/EBPβ (lower) and to autoradiography to detect 32P-labeled C/EBPβ (upper). 32P labeling of Flag-C/EBPβ increased in the presence of HA-GSK-3β (lane 3), and this increase was abolished by cotransfection of LANA (lane 7). LiCl is a GSK-3 inhibitor. Circled p, phospho.
