Effect of MPA on CDK6 kinase activity. CDK6-associated kinase activity using affinity-purified antisera against CDK6 and a GST-Rb fusion protein as substrate. Cells were stimulated with IL-2/PHA-L for 24 and 48 hours in absence (lanes 1 to 6) or in presence of 1μmol/L MPA (lanes 7 to 10). Immunoprecipitations were performed with or without incubation with the competing peptide for CDK6. The immune complexes were incubated in kinase buffer containing [γ-32P]ATP and separated by SDS-PAGE and exposed to radiograph film, as outlined in the Materials and Methods section.
