Article Title: EGF Receptor Exposed to Oxidative Stress Acquires Abnormal Phosphorylation and Aberrant Activated Conformation That Impairs Canonical Dimerization
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0023240
Figure Lengend Snippet: Serum-starved A549 cells were incubated (or not) with 1 µM AG1478 or 5 µM PP1 for 30 min. Then, the cells were treated for 30 min. with 100 ng/ml EGF or 1 U/ml GO, as indicated. EGFR was IPed from cell lysates, resolved by SDS-PAGE and IBed for total receptor, total tyrosine phosphorylation (p-EGFR) and specific Tyr-residue phosphorylation level (Y845, Y1068, Y1086, and Y1173). Protein aliquots of the cell lysates were also directly IBed for total and Y416 phosphorylated (active) c-Src (p-Src).
Article Snippet: PP1, a Src family inhibitor (Enzo Life Sciences), was dissolved in DMSO and added to the treatment medium at a final concentration of 5 µM.
