Article Title: TAK1-mediated phosphorylation of PLCE1 represses PIP2 hydrolysis to impede esophageal squamous cancer metastasis
doi: 10.7554/eLife.97373
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) TAK1 overexpression induces endogenous PLCE1 phosphorylation at serine 1060 (p-PLCE1 S1060). ECA-109 cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing TAK1. 24 hr post-transfection, cells were harvested and subjected to western blot analysis. Actin was used as a loading control. ( B ) TAK1 knockdown reduces endogenous p-PLCE1 S1060. ECA-109 cells were transfected with Map3k7 siRNA. 48 hr post-transfection, cells were collected for analyzing p-PLCE1 S1060. Actin was used as a loading control. ( C ) TAK1 phosphorylates PLCE1 at S1060 in an in vitro kinase assay. ECA-109 cells were transfected with a plasmid carrying S protein tagged TAK1 (SP-TAK1), Myc tagged PLCE1 (Myc-PLCE1), or Myc tagged PLCE1 S1060A (Myc-PLCE1 S1060A). 24 hr post-transfection, cells were harvested and subjected to protein pull-down, the resulting purified SP-TAK1, Myc-PLCE1, and Myc-PLCE1 S1060A were incubated in a kinase assay buffer. The reaction mixtures were then resolved by SDS-PAGE, the resulting gels were analyzed by Coomassie blue staining or western blot. Lane M: marker; Lane 1: SP-TAK1+Myc-PLCE1; Lane 2: SP-TAK1+Myc-PLCE1 S1060A. The observed band for p-PLCE1 in lane 2 is likely due to the presence of endogenous wildtype PLCE1 in the TAK1 pull-down samples. Figure 2—figure supplement 1—source data 1.
