Defatted cell lysates from isolated rat adipocytes were incubated (30 min, 4°C) in portions (10 μg of protein) with neutralizing anti-pp125FAK or antirat IgG (IgG) antibody (1:100). After immunoprecipitation with monoclonal anti-pp125FAK antibody, the immune complexes were subjected to kinase assay by incubation with [32P]ATP in the presence of paxillin. Total mixtures were separated by SDS-PAGE. Phosphorylated paxillin was quantitatively evaluated by phosphorimaging. Isolated rat adipocytes were electroporated with neutralizing anti-pp125FAK or antirat IgG antibody (1:50) and then incubated (15 min, 37°C) in the absence or presence of PIG 41 (3 μM) or human insulin (10 nM). pp125FAK, paxillin, and IRS-1 were immunoprecipitated with the corresponding antibodies from defatted cell lysates and then immunoblotted with antiphosphotyrosine antibody. Phosphorylated proteins were quantitatively evaluated by phosphorimaging. Portions of the cells were assayed for 2-deoxyglucose transport. Basal values (incubation and electroporation with IgG) were set at 100% in each case. The experiment was repeated three times (mean ± standard deviation).
