Figure 1. Co-immunoprecipitation of BHLHE40 phosphorylated at serine-383 (S383).

(A) Protocol for identifying the phosphoproteins that are induced by feeding and interact with both LXRα and C/EBPβ. Rats were either fasted for 48 hr, or fasted for 48 hr and then refed with a high-carbohydrate diet for 6 hr. Nuclear extracts were prepared from livers and subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-LXRα or with anti-C/EBPβ, after which the immunoprecipitates were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Phosphoproteins that were enriched (threefold or greater) in refed samples and co-immunoprecipitated with both anti-LXRα and anti-C/EBPβ were identified. (B) LC-MS/MS analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins. (C) Identification of BHLHE40 peptides. The intensity ratio (refed/fasted) was calculated using the summed intensity of all peptides in the protein. (D) MS/MS spectra data of BHLHE40 phosphorylated at Ser-383. LC-MS/MS sample preparation and analysis are described in Materials and methods.
