Figure 2. Mis-regulation of domain-specific phosphorylation in CF.
A. SILAC ratios and differential PTMs of peptides across the CFTR sequence from 16HBE41o- and CFBE41o- cells. Data are representative of n=4 experiments. B. TMT-based quantification of phosphorylation of sites in ΔF508 CFTR relative to wild-type (wt) in 16HBE41o- and CFBE41o- cells. Values are log2(ratio). non-mod, not modified; Phospho, phosphorylated; Me, methylated. Data are representative of n=7 experiments. C. Differential phosphorylation of Thr421, Ser422, Ser427 (RI element) and Ser660, Ser700, Ser813 and Thr816 (R-region) was confirmed by simultaneous detection of spiked-in synthetic heavy (13C615N2 Lys; 13C615N4 Arg)-labeled peptides in 16HBE41o- and CFBE41o- cells. Data are mean ± S.D. from n=5 independent biological replicates. *P < 0.0332, **P < 0.0021, ***P < 0.0002, and ****P < 0.0001 by unpaired, two-tailed t-tests, analyzed and corrected by the Bonferroni-Sidak method.
