Figure 7. STK38 and STK38L kinases phosphorylate HEY1 in vitro.

Figure 7

(A) In vitro interaction of STK38 kinases with HEY1. Whole-cell extracts from U2OS cells previously transfected with expression vectors for V5-tagged HEY1 were incubated with Flag-tagged-STK38 or STK38L coupled with anti-Flag magnetic beads. The associated proteins were detected by western blotting using anti-V5 antibody. (B) HEY1 is phosphorylated at serine 68 in vitro by okadaic acid-activated STK38 and STK38L kinases. U2OS cells expressing Flag-tagged STK38 or STK38L kinases were incubated for 1 h with vehicle or 1 μM okadaic acid. Flag-tagged kinases were then immunoprecipitated and assayed for kinase activity using immunopurified FLAG-tagged wild-type HEY1 or the non-phosphorylatable HEY1-S68A mutant as substrate. Phosphorylation of HEY1 was determined by western blotting with anti-phospho-S68 antibody. Western blotting with anti-Flag antibody shows the amount of Flag-HEY1, Flag-STK38 or Flag-STK38L present in each assay.
