Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of mutations created in PI3Kγ subunits and their effect on expression levels in isolated bone marrow neutrophils (BMN).
(A) Cartoon illustrating Gβγ binding to p84-p110γ and p101-p110γ complexes and the mutations created in the Gβγ binding domains of p101 regulatory and p110γ catalytic subunits. A single Gβγ binding site is depicted in p101-p110γ but it is currently unknown whether there is a single or multiple binding sites for Gβγ in this complex. (B to E) Relative abundance of PI3Kγ subunits in BMN derived from the indicated strains of mice; (B) Western blot representative of five independent experiments that were combined and quantified for the abundance of p84 (C), p110γ (D) and p101 (E). Western blotting analysis was performed on 1x106 BMNs from mice of the indicated genotypes. The abundances of p84, p110γ and p101 protein in samples from mice of each genotype were quantitated by densitometry and normalized to p67phox to correct for neutrophil input (β-COP is shown as an additional loading control). Data are means ± SEM of n= 5 independent experiments and are expressed as a ratio to the relative protein band density of WT samples on each blot. Normalized data was analyzed by ratio paired t tests with Holms-Sidak corrections applied to account for multiple comparisons, with comparisons made to WT samples.
