Phosphorylation of MPP9 by TTBK2 promotes UPS-mediated degradation of MPP9. a Immunoblots of lysates from hTERT RPE-1 cells after serum starvation. Tubulin was used as a loading control. b Immunoblots following immunoprecipitation (IP) with an anti-Flag antibody using lysates from hTERT RPE-1 cells overexpressing the indicated proteins. c Immunoblots of MPP9 after serum starvation in hTERT RPE-1 cells. Tubulin was used as a loading control. Relative amounts of MPP9 were quantified and normalized to tubulin. d Immunostaining of MPP9 (green) and ODF2-HA (red) in hTERT RPE-1 cells. Arrows, the distal ends of the mother centrioles. e Quantification of the fluorescence intensity of MPP9 at the distal ends of the mother centrioles from d (n = 40 cells for each group). f Immunoblots of MPP9 and S629-phosphorylated MPP9 in cycling hTERT RPE-1 cells. g Immunoblots following immunoprecipitation with an anti-MPP9 antibody using lysates from control- or TTBK2-siRNA-treated hTERT RPE-1 cells. h Immunoblots of TTBK2 and MPP9 after serum starvation in control- or TTBK2-siRNA-treated hTERT RPE-1 cells. Tubulin was used as a loading control. i Immunoblots of lysates from HEK293T cells co-overexpressing the indicated proteins. Tubulin was used as a loading control. Relative amounts of Flag-tagged MPP9 were quantified and normalized to tubulin. WT, wild-type; KD, kinase-dead. j Immunoblots of lysates from HEK293T cells co-overexpressing the indicated proteins. Tubulin was used as a loading control. Relative amounts of Flag-MPP9 were quantified and normalized to tubulin. k Immunoblots following immunoprecipitation with an anti-Flag antibody using lysates from HEK293T cells overexpressing the indicated proteins. l Mass spectrometry analysis showing the ubiquitination of MPP9 at K632 (blue). Yellow, phosphorylation sites. m Immunoblots of lysates from HEK293T cells co-overexpressing Flag-tagged MPP9-WT or the K632R mutant with TTBK2-GFP-WT or TTBK2-GFP-KD. Tubulin was used as a loading control. Relative amounts of Flag-MPP9 were quantified and normalized to tubulin. n Immunoblots following immunoprecipitation with an anti-Flag antibody using lysates from HEK293T cells overexpressing the indicated proteins. For e, bars represent the means ± S.E.M for three independent experiments. n.s., not significant, **p < 0.01, as determined by one-way ANOVA analysis. Scale bar: 1 μm (d)
