The effect of crizotinib on ALK phosphorylation of transgenic flies expressing hTPM4-hALK or hALK. Western blot analysis of the levels of total hALK and hALK phosphorylated at Tyr1278 in flies overexpressing hTPM4-hALK or hALK. (A) hTPM4-hALK was phosphorylated at Tyr1278 in a ligand-independent manner. The flies expressing hTPM4-hALK showed a decreased level of phosphorylated Tyr1278 after crizotinib treatment compared with no treatment, with a greater decrease induced by 1 µM compared with 200 nM crizotinib. (B) Wild-type hALK was slightly phosphorylated. (C) Quantitation of the western blot results in A is represented graphically. NF, normal food.
