We developed a differential method to reveal kinase-specific phosphorylation events in live cells. In this method, cells in which the specified kinase is inactive are labeled with 32Pi, whereas cells in which the kinase is active are labeled with 33Pi. The two cell extracts are then mixed, and proteins are separated on a single two-dimensional gel. The dried gel is exposed twice. The first exposure reveals both 32P- and 33P-labeled proteins; the kinase-specific spots are revealed because of 33P labeling. The second exposure is conducted with two acetate sheets intervening between the gel and the detection plate. This maneuver screens out the less energetic 33P-labeled proteins while allowing the more energetic 32P-labeled proteins to be detected, thus leaving only those spots that were phosphorylated independently of the specified kinase. We demonstrate the utility of this method for detecting kinase substrates in rare tissue by focusing on extracellular signal-regulated kinase-specific phosphorylation of stathmin/OP18 in primary rat sympathetic neurons.

Abstract

We developed a differential method to reveal kinase-specific phosphorylation events in live cells. In this method, cells in which the specified kinase is inactive are labeled with 32Pi, whereas cells in which the kinase is active are labeled with 33Pi. The two cell extracts are then mixed, and proteins are separated on a single two-dimensional gel. The dried gel is exposed twice. The first exposure reveals both 32P- and 33P-labeled proteins; the kinase-specific spots are revealed because of 33P labeling. The second exposure is conducted with two acetate sheets intervening between the gel and the detection plate. This maneuver screens out the less energetic 33P-labeled proteins while allowing the more energetic 32P-labeled proteins to be detected, thus leaving only those spots that were phosphorylated independently of the specified kinase. We demonstrate the utility of this method for detecting kinase substrates in rare tissue by focusing on extracellular signal-regulated kinase-specific phosphorylation of stathmin/OP18 in primary rat sympathetic neurons.
