Photocontrol of Smad2, a Multiphosphorylated Cell-Signaling Protein, through Caging of Activating Phosphoserines

Expressed‐protein ligation has been used for the semisynthetic preparation of a Smad2 protein with caged activating phosphoserine residues. Biochemical and cell biological experiments show that the caged protein is activated upon irradiation with UV light (see scheme). This sets the stage for the de...

Zusammenfassung:Expressed‐protein ligation has been used for the semisynthetic preparation of a Smad2 protein with caged activating phosphoserine residues. Biochemical and cell biological experiments show that the caged protein is activated upon irradiation with UV light (see scheme). This sets the stage for the detailed kinetic analysis of Smad2 function in living cells.
