Figure 6. Activation of ERK MAP Kinase by SOSCOS1 cells were transiently cotransfected with HA-tagged ERK2 and T7-tagged SOS constructs as indicated. ERK2 activation was measured in serum-starved cells by an immunoprecipitated kinase-kinase assay using myelin basic protein (MBP) as a substrate. Results were normalized to the vector control reaction. Western blots detecting T7- and HA-tagged proteins are shown. (A) Activation of ERK2 by SOS^cat and SOS^cat mutants. Results shown in the bar diagram are from three independent experiments. Error bars indicate standard deviations of three independent experiments. The amout of ^32P incorporation into MBP was quantified by phosphorimaging. Autoradiograms and Western blots shown are from a single representative experiment. (B) Activation of ERK2 by SOS truncations. Results shown are from a single representative experiment. Experiments were repeated three times with similar results.
