Figure 9. MLK3 is phosphorylated on ser277/281 in response to SB202190 or SB203580 treatment.
(A) Effect of SB202190 on MLK3 phosphorylation. HEK 293T cells were transfected with phCMV2-HA-MLK3 as described in the methods. After 48 hours cells were treated with SB202190 for 4 hours. Cellular lysates were probed with anti-phospho-MLK3 antibody as described in the methods. Lane 1, DMSO treated control; lane 2, 5 µM SB202190; Lane3, 10 µM SB202190; Bottom Panel, Flag-MLK3; Lower Panel, β-actin. (B) Effect of SB203580 on MLK3 phosphorylation. HEK 293T cells were transfected with pCMV2-HA-MLK3 as described in the methods. After 48 hours cells were treated with SB203580 for 4 hours. Cellular lysates were probed with anti-phospho-MLK3 antibody as described in the methods. Lane 1, DMSO treated control; lane 2, 5 µM SB203580; Lane3, 10 µM SB203580; Bottom Panel, Flag-MLK3; Lower Panel, β-actin.
