Induction of p53 acetylation and phosphorylation by UV, γ-rays, and ALLN. A549 cells were exposed to 25 J/m2 of UV-C, 8 Gy γ-rays (IR), or treated with 20 μm calpain inhibitor I (ALLN). TSA was added to 5 μm immediately after DNA damage treatment. Samples were harvested at the indicated times after initiating treatment (top of lanes), and extracts were prepared for immunoprecipitation with Pab1801, a monoclonal antibody specific for human p53, followed by Western immunoblot analysis as described in Materials and Methods. The Western blots were probed sequentially with PAbLys(Ac)382, PAbLys(Ac)320, PAbSer(P)37, and DO-1.
