FIG. 1. Dynamic nature of endogenous DLK, JIP1, and JNK interaction in stimulated HN33 cells. A, extracts were prepared from HN33 cells (1 x 10^7) treated with or without 400 nM okadaic acid (Ok. Acid) for 3 h. JIP1 complexes were immunoprecipitated from the cell lysates using JIP1-specific antibody, separated by SDS-PAGE, and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-DLK and anti-JNK antibody. Immunoprecipitation without JIP1 antibody was used as control. Corresponding lysates were immunoblotted as indicated to determine the endogenous expression of DLK, JIP1, and JNK. B, HN33 cells were transfected with FLAG-JIP1. Cells were treated with either kainic acid or okadaic acid as indicated. JIP1 was immunoprecipitated using JIP1 antibody and immune complexes were analyzed for the presence of DLK. C, HN33 cells were transfected with FLAG-JIP1, metabolically labeled with orthophosphate, and then treated with or without kainic acid for 60 min. JIP1 was immunoprecipitated using JIP1 antibody and immune complexes were analyzed after SDS-PAGE by autoradiography for incorporation of phosphate into JIP1 or by immunoblotting for the presence of DLK or JNK. All experiments were repeated 3 times with similar results.
