Phosphorylation reactions (20μl) contained ~250ng of purified substrate, 1–2 unit of recombinant PKA catalytic subunit, CK1 or CaMKII (all from NEB), and 0.2mM [γ-32P]ATP (adjusted to 250μCi/μmol, Perkin Elmer) in kinase buffer (buffer for PKA: 50mM Tris-Cl pH7.5, 100mM KCl, 5mM MgCl2, and 2.4mM DTT; buffers for CK1 or CaMKII provided by NEB) supplemented with protease inhibitors. Reactions were incubated at 30°C for 30 min and terminated by addition of 3X SDS loading buffer. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, and gels were dried (Bio-Rad) and exposed to a Phosphor Screen (Molecular Dynamics) for 12 hr. The screen was then analyzed with a Typhoon laser scanner (GE Healthcare).

In vitro kinase reactions were performed by mixing 1 μg of the recombinant active GSK3β, PKA, and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II) (New England Biolabs, BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), all of which were incubated at room temperature for 30 min under a reaction condition that entailed 20 μL of the kinase activity buffer (50 mM Tris HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 10 μM ATP, pH 7.5); the reaction was subsequently stopped by adding 10 μL of SDS-PAGE loading buffer. After denaturation at 95 °C for 1 min, protein phosphorylation was analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies.

HEK-293 cells expressing recombinant FLAG-CPEB3a protein were harvested 36 h post-transfection by scraping in ice-cold lysis buffer containing 10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 200 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1% Tx-100, Complete Mini protease inhibitors (1 tablet/10 ml) and Phos-Stop phosphatase inhibitors (1 tablet/10 ml). Lysates were sonicated for 10 min in ice-cold sonication bath and spun down (15 min/17.000 rcf). Supernatants were mixed with 50 μl of FLAG M2 agarose beads (Sigma), previously blocked with 3% BSA, and incubated for 2 h at 4°C on a rotator, followed by 5x washing with lysis buffer. CaMKII was preactivated at 30°C for 30 min in kinase reaction buffer (New England Biolabs) supplemented with 1.2 μM calmodulin and 2 mM CaCl2. Beads were mixed with kinase buffer containing 1 mM ATP and PKA-Cα (5000 U, New England Biolabs), pre-activated CaMKII (1000 U, New England Biolabs), or the corresponding buffer without enzyme. Sample was incubated for 30 min at 30°C with rotation and then mixed with 50 μl of NuPage reducing sample buffer and separated by SDS PAGE.

For analytical purposes, 0.2 mg/ml obscurin RhoGEF fragments (5–20 μM, depending on the fragment used) were phosphorylated by 200 U PKA (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. no. 539576) or 500 U CaMK II (NEB, cat. no. P6060L) or 25 ng CaMK Id (BioVision, cat. no. 7713–5) or 25 ng MST2 (Millipore, cat. no. 14–524) in kinase reaction buffer (30 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 300 μM ATP, 2 mM DTT [+1mM CaCl2 and 1 μg/ml (approx. 3 μM) Calmodulin (NEB, cat. no. 6060S) for CaMK II/Id]). Samples were incubated for 3 h at 30°C in a PCR cycler and the reaction was stopped by addition of SDS sample buffer. For visualisation of phosphoprotein, 2 μg of obscurin substrate were separated by SDS-PAGE and stained with Pro-QTM Diamond Phosphoprotein Gel Stain as described below. For preparative MST2-phosphorylation of obscurin SH3-DH or DH5667-5899, 500 ng MST2 were added to a reaction volume of 200 μL kinase reaction buffer containing a substrate concentration of 110 μM and the reaction was allowed to proceed for 5 hrs at 25°C, followed by further incubation overnight at 8°C. The phosphorylated protein was buffer exchanged into 40 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl and 2 mM DTT.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
