In vitro phosphorylation and association of glutathione S- transferase (GST) fusion proteins The cDNA encoding the cytoplasmic domain of CD72 was obtained by PCR with a set of primers (5Ј-CCGAATTCATGGCTGACGCTAT CACG-3Ј and 5Ј-CCGTCGACGTTTTGCAAGCAGACCGT-3Ј) and sub- cloned into the EcoRI-SalI sites of the pGEX vector (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden), resulting in pGEX-CD72 coding for a GST-CD72 fusion protein. For constructing the pGEX-Y7, pGEX-Y32, and pGEX-Y39 expression plasmids encoding GST fusion proteins containing peptides surrounding Y7 (AITYADLRFV), Y32 (CEAYEDGELT), and Y39 (ELTYENVQVS), respectively, we synthesized oligonucleotide pairs encoding the peptides (5Ј-AATTCGCTATCACGTATGCAGACCTGCGCTTTGTGG-3Ј and 5Ј- TCGACCACAAAGCGCAGGTCTGCATACGTGATAGCG-3Ј for Y7; 5Ј-AATTCTGTGAGGCCTATGAAGATGGGGAACTCACCG-3Ј and 5Ј- TCGACGGTGAGTTCCCCATCTTCATAGGCCTCACAG-3Ј for Y32; and 5Ј-AATTCGAACTCACCTACGAGAACGTGCAAGTGTCTG-3Ј and 5Ј- TCGACAGACACTTGCACGTTCTCGTAGGTGACTTCG-3Ј for Y39). Oligonucleotide pairs were annealed and inserted into the EcoRI-XhoI sites of the pGEX vector. The GST fusion protein (10 ␮g) were phosphorylated by incubation with Sf9 cell lysates containing Lyn or Syk in in vitro kinase buffer FIGURE 1. Phosphorylation of CD72 fusion proteins by Lyn or Syk.
