Figure 6. YY1 phosphorylation at T39 is rapidly dephosphorylated upon entry into mitosis.

Figure 6

Stable HeLa-Flag-YY1 cells were synchronized by double-thymidine block and then released. Cells were collected for WCE preparation at the indicated time points. (A) Western blot analysis of HeLa WCEs and immunoprecipitated Flag-YY1 at the indicated time points. WCEs were probed with anti-Plk1, anti-Cyclin B1, and anti-YY1 antibodies. Immunoprecipitated Flag-YY1 was probed with anti-pT39 and anti-YY1 antibodies. (B) In vitro kinase assay using the same WCEs tested in (A) at the indicated time points with GST-YY1 attached to beads, in the presence of phosphatase inhibitors. Reactions were separated on SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane, and probed with anti-pT39, then anti-YY1 antibody.
