Inh3 is associated with significant fractions of the PP1α and
PP1γ1 isoforms in HL-60 cells. HL-60 cell lysates were
immunoprecipitated with a polyclonal antibody against Inh3 using amounts of
antibody that were predetermined to be sufficient to immunodeplete the lysates
(see “Experimental Procedures”). A, the
Inh3-immunodepleted supernatants were Western blotted with antibodies against
Inh3 and with isoform-specific antibodies against PP1α, PP1β, or
PP1γ1, as indicated. GAPDH was used as a loading control. B,
the amounts of PP1α, PP1β, and PP1γ1 remaining in the
Inh3-depleted supernatants relative to the input (Control) were
determined by densitometric analysis (see “Experimental
Procedures”) and shown as a bar diagram. The data are presented
as mean ± S.D. (n = 3). C, the immunoprecipitates
(IP) from the experiment shown in A were immunoblotted with
a non-isoform-specific antibody against PP1 (shown as
PP1T) or with isoform-specific antibodies against
PP1α, PP1β, or PP1γ1. The lanes shown are the input,
the immunoprecipitate (IP), and the immunoprecipitation performed
with normal rabbit IgG (lane C). D, pull-down assays of
untreated and act-D-treated HL-60 lysates for free PP1. HL-60 cells were
treated with 4 μm act-D for 5 h. Cell lysates were pulled down
using TALON metal affinity beads that were presaturated with His-Inh3. The
bound proteins were extracted with loading buffer and subjected to SDS-PAGE
and immunoblotted with antibody against PP1 (non-isoform-specific).
