Characterization of the importance of Y1283 for ALK-Y1278S activity. (A) Representative images of PC12 cells expressing pcDNA3 empty vector, wild type ALK, ALK-Y1278S, Y1283F or ALK-Y1278S mutants respectively. Scale bar represents 50 μm; (B) Detection of phosphorylation of ALK (Y1604) and downstream signalling activity (pERK1/2) of wild type ALK, ALK-Y1278S, Y1283F and ALK-Y1278S in the absence or presence of ALKAL1 ligand by immunoblotting. Blots are representative of three independent experiments; (C) Neurite outgrowth assay of PC12 cells transfected with various ALK mutants as indicated in the presence or absence of ALKAL1 stimulation. Bars represent mean percentage ± STD of neurite-carrying cells among GFP-positive cells from three independent experiments.
