Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification and characterization of AAK1 as a TIM-063–interactant. ( a ) Protocol for identification of TIM-063–interactants using TIM-063–immobilized sepharose (TIM-127-sepharose ) combined with mass spectrometry analysis. Mouse cerebrum extracts were applied onto TIM-127-sepharose, and after extensive washing of resin, TIM-063–interactants were eluted by the addition of 100 µM TIM-063 containing buffer, followed by identification via mass spectrometry analysis as described in the “ ”. ( b ) Eluates from TIM-127-sepharose (TIM-127–S) or a control sepharose without the inhibitor (Control–S) as described in ( a ) were analyzed by immunoblotting with either anti-CaMKKβ/2 antibody ( upper panel ), anti-AAK1 antibody ( middle panel ), or anti-ERK1/2 antibody ( bottom panel ) together with mouse cerebrum extracts (Input). ( c ) Extracts from COS-7 cells expressing His-tagged AAK1 wild type (1–863) or His-tagged AAK1 catalytic domain (25–396) were incubated with either TIM-127-sepharose or control sepharose, and after extensive washing of resin, TIM-063–interactants were eluted by the addition of 100 µM TIM-063–containing buffer, followed by immunoblot analysis with an anti-AAK1 antibody as described in the “ ”. An arrow and asterisk indicate His-tagged AAK1 wild type (1–863) and His-tagged AAK1 catalytic domain (25–396), respectively. ( d ) Phosphorylation of GST-AP2µ2 (145–162) at Thr156 by the His-tagged AAK1 catalytic domain (25–396) for various time periods (0–120 min) was detected by immunoblot analysis with an anti-phospho-AP2µ2 (pThr156) antibody ( insert ), quantitated by densitometric scanning of the immunoreactive bands, and expressed as a percentage of the value at 120 min of the reaction. An asterisk indicates phospho-Thr156 in GST-AP2µ2 (145–162). ( e ) Inhibition of AAK1 activity by TIM-063 in a dose-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of GST-AP2µ2 (145–162) by His-tagged AAK1 catalytic domain (25–396) was measured in the presence or absence of various concentrations of TIM-063 at 30 °C for 20 min using 100 µM [γ- 32 P]ATP as described in the “ ”. AAK1 activities are expressed as a percentage of the average value in the absence of the compound. Results represent duplicate experiments. Chemical structure of TIM-063 is indicated ( insert ). Molecular mass markers (kDa) are indicated in the left lanes of immunoblot panels.
