Effect of Pur-alpha and FUSMM expression on eIF2-alpha phosphorylation of HEK293-starved cells were transfected with HA-Pur-alpha, Flag-FUSWT, or Flag-FUSMM. eIF2-alpha phosphorylation was evaluated by western blotting with anti-p-eIF2-alpha antibody. In starved HEK293 cells the expression of HA-Pur-alpha determines a strong induction of eIF2-alpha phosphorylation as well as Flag-FUSMM, if compared with cells expressing Flag-FUSWT or untransfected cells. The lower panel shows band quantification generated with ImageJ analysis package. Data are presented as the ratio of phospho-eIF2-alpha to total eIF2-alpha signal and are expressed in arbitrary units (AU). Values are reported as mean±S.D.; n=3. Statistical significance was evaluated with Student's t-test (** indicate values significantly different from controls with P-value <0.001)
