From: The isothiocyanate class of bioactive nutrients covalently inhibit the MEKK1 protein kinase
PEITC Inhibits MEKK1, but not ASK1. CV-1 cells expressing CBD-tagged full-length MEKK1 (left panel) or ASK1 (right panel) were either left untreated (lane 1 and 5) or treated with PEITC at the concentrations indicated (lanes 2–4 and 6–8 respectively) for 30 minutes at 37°C. CBD-tagged proteins were purified on chitin beads and assayed for kinase activity using SEK-KR as substrate. MEKK1 was dose responsively inhibited by PEITC. The related ASK1 kinase was completely unaffected by PEITC, indicating that the inhibition of MEKK1 is specific.
