The putative phosphorylation motifs were highlighted in box and phosphorylation web sites (T) are shown in bold. The consensus ERK phosphorylation motif is shown below the sequences. b In vivo detection of SOX10 phosphorylation at T240 and T244. HA-SOX10 proteins have been immunoprecipitated from A375-TR HA-SOX10 cell lysates, digested by trypsin and analyzed by several reactions monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry.TFRC, Human (HEK293, hFc) MRM spectra of non-phosphorylated and T240/T244-phosphorylated SOX10 tryptic fragments are shown.TFRC Protein Source c Quantitation of SOX10 phosphorylation in A375 cells treated with or without the need of 2 M Vemurafenib for six h.PMID:28038441 The locations on the peptide peaks in MRM chromatograms have been measured to estimate the relative quantities of corresponding peptides. A SOX10 tryptic fragment (183 AAQGEAECPGGEAEQGGTAAIQAHYK 208, 848.7188+++) was applied because the internal control. d In vitro kinase assays were performed working with recombinant ERK2 (activated) and synthetic SOX10 peptides (236-HGPPTPPTTPKTELQ-250) along with the reaction solutions have been analyzed by LC S. The HPLC results for SOX10 peptide variants which includes WT, T240A, T244A, and AA are shown. Various peptide species detected within the reaction merchandise have been designated by arrows with their molecular weights and identities shown beside. Mass spectrometry benefits have been integrated inside the supplemental information and facts (Supplementary Fig. three). e WT, T240A, T244A, AA HASOX10 proteins were precipitated from lysates of lentivirus-transduced A375 cells treated with or devoid of 1 M SCH772984 and probed with anti-HA or anti-phospho-PXTP antibodies. Uncropped images are shown in Supplementary Fig. 10. f 293T cells have been transduced with WT or AA HA-SOX10 constr.
