S1 processing and detergent fractionation in CHO cells. (A) Cells were incubated with PT (20 nM) for 4 h followed by lysis with RIPA or Triton X-100 (TX100) buffer on ice or at room temperature (RT). A western blot of the detergent-insoluble (I) and -soluble (S) fractions is shown, with bands corresponding to full length S1 or processed S1 (S1p) indicated. Lane marked C is PT (200 ng) loading control. (B) Western blot of Triton X-100 lysate fractions of CHO cells treated with PT or PT* (catalytically inactive mutant of PT) for 4 h. (C) Western blot of Triton X-100 lysate fractions of untreated CHO cells after addition of 500 ng PT to the lysis mixture.
