a, Conserved AMPK recognition motif of several key AMPK target enzymes, including TET2. b, Co-immunoprecipitation showing that Flag–TET2 interacts with the activated form of AMPK (AMPKpT172). c, Flowchart of the in vitro kinase assay with different detection approaches. d, LC–MS/MS profiling of the in vitro AMPK kinase assay showed that TET2S99 is specifically phosphorylated in the presence of active AMPK. e, Immunoblot validation of TET2pS99 phosphorylation using a TET2pS99-specific antibody. f, Determination of TET2 phosphorylation at S99 via 32P-autoradiograph (SLF is a naturally occurring mutant that probably disrupts the AMPK binding site). Data represent three biologically independent repeats in b, e, f.
