Activation of Medicago sativa SIMK by three different stresses (250 mM NaCl, 15 mM H2O2 and 0.8 M sorbitol, all applied for a total of 30 min). (A1,A2) All stresses induce the accumulation of phosphorylated MAPK species compared to untreated seedlings as recognized by pTEpY antibody in extracts prepared in buffer E (A1) which by Phos-Tag™ (A2) show clear SIMK activation (top arrow, pSIMK; bottom arrow, SIMK). (B1,B2) The same samples extracted with buffer B show better discrimination of pTEpY immunoreactive species in western blots following common SDS-PAGE (B1) and much better separation of pSIMK (top arrow) and SIMK (bottom arrow) in Phos-Tag™ gels (B2). Panels on the left of (A1,B1) correspond to images of the protein ladder following Ponceau S staining of the membrane. Question marks in (A1,B1) denote unknown anti-pTEpY immunoreactive species.
