The phosphorylation status of RBM4 modulates its cellular localization and effect on alternative splicing events. MCF-7 cells were transiently transfected with an expression vector encoding wild-type RBM4, the S309A mutant (nonphosphorylatable; SA), or the S309D mutant (phosphomimetic; SD) for 24 h. (A) Localization of overexpressing RBM4 proteins was examined using indirect immunostaining with an anti-FLAG antibody. (B) Total RNA was isolated from the transfected MCF-7 cells and analyzed using RT-PCR, as described in Figure 3A. The cell lysates were subjected to an immunoblotting assay by using anti-FLAG and anti-GAPDH antibodies. The bar graph presents the relative ratio of IR-B and MCL-1S in the transfected cells in three independent experiments. (***) P < 0.005.
