Figure 2. Identification of the phosphorylation sites in Sec31.

Figure 2

(A) The predicted domain structure of human Sec31 by SMART (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de). The domain structure of Sec31 is: N-terminal WD repeats for Sec13 binding, a linker region, and a C-terminal extensin-like proline-rich domain for Sec23 binding. The phosphorylation sites identified by mass-spectrometry were indicated by arrows. (B) HEK293 cells were transfected with FLAG-tagged wild type (WT) Sec31 or its S527A/S799A/S1163A/T1165A mutant (4SA). Tagged proteins were immunoprecipitated with antibodies to the FLAG tag and subjected to western blotting with anti-FLAG and anti-phospho-serine/threonine antibodies. The immunoprecipitated (IP’ed) phospho-Sec31 levels were normalized with IP’ed Sec31 levels and expressed as the normalized ratio.
