A Modified Immunoblot Method to Identify Substrates of Protein Kinases

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

While protein kinases are key components in multiple cellular processes, efficient identification of cognate in vivo substrates remains challenging. Here we describe a powerful method to screen potential substrates of protein kinases by partial transfer of proteins from a 2D-PAGE gel to a Western blot membrane. This approach allowed precise pinpointing of candidate substrate spots in the 2D gel, and identifying physiological substrates of protein kinases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
