Potential GSK3 phosphorylation sites are present in Arc sequence. (A) Bioinformatic prediction of potential GSK3β phosphorylation sites in the rat Arc sequence based on Group Based Predictor Phosphorylation System 2.1 (GPS 2.1). The potential GSK3β-targeted residues of Arc are listed in the table. (B) Sequence alignment of human, rat, and mouse Arc amino acid sequences. Residues that are potentially targeted by GSK3β are marked with black boxes. (C) Mass spectrometry (MS)/MS analysis indicates phosphorylated residues within Arc protein. The figure shows exemplary phosphopeptides that were identified by phospho-MS analysis of rat Arc, overexpressed in HEK293 cells. Note the neutral loss (−98 Da) visible on threonine 175 (left panel) and threonine 380 (right panel), indicating the phosphorylation of these residues in living cells.
