Phosphorylation of Bok at Ser-8 blocks its ability to suppress IP3R-mediated calcium mobilization by Caden G. Bonzerato, Katherine R. Keller, Richard J. H. Wojcikiewicz

“…Also, using mammalian cells that exclusively or predominately express IP3R1, to which Bok binds strongly, and a fluorescent Ca2+-sensitive dye or a genetically-encoded Ca2+ sensor, we explored how endogenous and exogenous Bok controls the Ca2+ mobilizing function of IP3R1, and whether Bok phosphorylation at Ser-8, or replacement of Ser-8 with a phosphomimetic amino acid, is regulatory. Results Our results confirm that Ser-8 of Bok is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and remarkably that phosphorylation can be detected with Bok specific antibodies. …”
