Figure 4From: Rapamycin inhibition of baculovirus recombinant (BVr) ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1) is mediated by an event other than phosphorylationTor signaling input is not required for rapamycin inhibition of BVr enzyme. Sf9 cells were infected with S6Kα1WT, S6Kα1T412A and T252A (a) or S6Kα1WT & S6K ΔNH2-46/ΔCT104 (b) recombinant viruses at an M.O.I ≤ 1. Cells were exposed to rapamycin (50 nM) or vehicle, 24 h post infection for 15 min and harvested, lysed for IPs and subjected to S6 kinase as above. The figure is representative of three independent experiments.Back to article page
