Aurora A phosphorylates YY1 in vitro in its DNA-binding domain. (a) Radioactive in vitro kinase assay using bacterially-expressed and purified YY1 with active Aurora A kinase. After completion, the reactions were separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The gel was stained with Coomassie blue, dried, and then exposed to a phosphor-imager screen to detect the radioactive phospho-labelling on YY1. (b) Radioactive kinase assay as in (a) but using bacterially expressed and purified GST or GST-YY1 full-length or deletion mutants as substrates for Aurora A phosphorylation. (c) Schematic illustration of the YY1 full length and deletion mutants used in (b). The presence or absence of Aurora A phosphorylation is indicated to the right. The structural and functional domains of YY1 are labelled on the top33, 34.
