Description

Objective: To study the mechanism of p27Kip1 down-regulation induced by ionizing radiation (IR). Methods: The cDNA of p27Kip1 was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX4T-2. The recombinant protein GST-p27Kip1 was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiroglactoside (IPTG) and purified by GST-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. Results: GST-p27Kip1 was phosphorylated by PKAc, and this in vitro phosphorylation could be inhibited by PKA specific inhibitor H89. Phosphorylation level of GST-p27Kip1 decreased after IR, when treated with immunoprecipited endogenous PKA. Conclusion: The results suggest that cAMP-PKA plays a critical role in down-regulation of p27Kip1 during IR. (author)
