Fig. 5. Phosphorylation of GST-CTD and MBP by CDK7/His6-CycH/MAT1, His6-CDK8/CycC and His6-CDK9/CycT1.
Lanes 1, 4, and 7 are kinases without any substrate. CDK8 and CDK9 have background bands that resulted from their autophosphorylation. CDK7 produced two bands with GST-CTD, the low mobility band corresponds to the hyperphosphorylated form (IIo), and the higher mobility band, the hypophosphorylated IIa. CDK8 and CDK9 produced only the IIa form.
