a Time-course analysis of ULK1 phosphorylation. The western blotting analysis was performed with S405 and S415 phospho-specific antibodies following insulin withdrawal. b Effect of GSK3B knockdown on ULK1 S405 and S415 phosphorylation after insulin withdrawal for 6 h. c In vitro kinase assay for ULK1 phosphorylation at S405 and S415. GST-tagged ULK1 fragments (amino acid residues 279–430) with mutations at S405A or S415A were used as substrates for HA-GSK3B-CA immunoprecipitation from HEK293 cells. The western blotting analysis was performed with S405 and S415 phospho-specific antibodies. d Effect of S405 or S415 phosphorylation on the phosphorylation of the other. The ULK1 WT, S405A, or S415A construct was expressed in sgUlk1 cells, and western blotting analysis using phospho-specific antibodies was performed after insulin withdrawal for 6 h. In all experiments, the blots shown are representative of at least three experiments with similar results.
