Solubilized K562 membranes were incubated with biotin-conjugated, recombinant antiphosphotyrosine (RC20) under high (150 mmol/L NaCl) or low (50 mmol/L NaCl) ionic strength conditions, as indicated. Rapamycin and IP3 were present during the immunoprecipitation or added at the time of the isomerase determination, as indicated. Immune complexes were isolated using agarose-linked streptavidin. Aliquots of immobilized proteins (20 μL) were examined for peptidylprolylcis-trans isomerase activity using the substrate Suc-Ala-Leu-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide, as described.40 Values for kobs were calculated using the equation for a first order reaction with offset (EnzFitter; BIOSOFT). Reactions were observed for 7 to 9 half-lives. A sampling interval of 0.2 seconds was used with uninhibited reactions; it was 1.5 seconds when immunoprecipitation had been conducted in the presence of 200 nmol/L rapamycin or when the reaction was inhibited by 20 nmol/L IP3. The extent of the uncatalyzed reaction was assessed by conducting the determination using biotin-conjugated RC20 that had not been exposed to the K562 cell membrane preparation.

Abbreviation: IP, immunoprecipitation.
