There is an increased complex formation of EGFR with PTPH1 and p38γ
in K-Ras mutant cells.
A, equal protein amounts from K-Ras WT and MT cell lysates
were precipitated with a specific EGFR antibody, and the precipitates were
analyzed by WB for PTPH1 and p38γ (top left, *, IP with
control IgG). PTPH1 and p38γ proteins in EGFR precipitates from K-Ras WT
cells were measured and normalized by those from K-Ras MT cells (right
panel, mean ± S.D. (error bars),
n = 3, from top left). Direct Western
blots of the inputs are shown (bottom, left).
B, the indicated constructs were transiently expressed in
293T cells, and Myc precipitates were analyzed by WB for EGFR binding to
HA-PTPH1 and/or FLAG-p38γ. C, cells were transduced with
the indicated adenovirus and EGFR precipitates were analyzed by WB after a 24-h
incubation.
