Immunoblotting of activation loop phosphorylation of Aurora A/B and of pH3(Ser 28) and pH3(Ser 10) in HeLa cells following inhibitor treatments. (A) Analysis of MK-5108 and MK-8745. The targets blotted are indicated on the right; MW markers (in kD) are on the left. The topmost blot is with an antibody that recognizes the phosphorylated activation loops of both Aurora A and Aurora B. The protocol used to prepare mitotic taxol-arrested lysates is summarized above the blots. (B) Analysis of AZD1152-HQPA and GSK1070916 as in (A). The only difference is the protocol used to prepare the mitotic lysate; as Aurora B inhibition overrides taxol-based mitotic arrest, a synchronization procedure followed by proteasome inhibition, schematized above the blots, was used. Blots were repeated in at least two independent experiments, which were highly consistent; blot sets from one representative experiment are shown. For (B), see Figure S6 in Supplementary Material for an independent experiment performed at a higher top dose (300 nM).
