Supplementary Figure 1. T183 of JNK and WW domain of Pin1 are involved in the
interaction.
(a) HEK 293 cells transfected with plasmids as indicated were treated with 1 mM H2O2 for 1 h
or left untreated. Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed. (b) HEK 293 cells
were co-transfected with FLAG-tagged Pin1 WT or two deletion mutants of Pin1, WW or
PPIase (amino acid residues 1-54 or 39-163, respectively) expression plasmids along with the
HA-JNK1 plasmid, and exposed to 1 mM H2O2 for 1 h. Immunoprecipitation and
immunoblotting were performed. FLAG-tagged Pin1 WW domain was not shown due to its
small size. (c) HEK 293 cells were co-transfected with FLAG-tagged Pin1 WT or two point
mutants of Pin1 (W34A or C113A) expression plasmids along with the HA-JNK1 plasmid, and
exposed to 1 mM H2O2 for 1 h. Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed.
Supplementary Figure 2. H2O2 has no effect on Pin1 activity.
Pin1-/- MEF cells were transiently transfected with FLAG-only or FLAG-Pin1 expression
plasmids and then lysates from H2O2-treated for 1 h or untreated Pin1-/- MEF cells were
immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG beads. The immunoprecipitates were incubated with
active JNK1, c-Jun, and [γ-32P] ATP for 10 min at 30°C.
Supplementary Figure 3. (a) Pin1does not interact with TCF1. After transfection, HEK 293
cells were treated with 1 mM H2O2 for 1 h. Lysates were immunoprecipitated and
immunoblotted with appropriate antibodies. (b) JNK1 phosphorylates Ser-232 of TCF1.
Active recombinant JNK1 was incubated with TCF1 (WT, T242A, or S232/T242A) in 20 µl
of kinase reaction buffer. The products of kinase reactions were separated by SDS-PAGE. The
gels were dried and exposed to film.
Supplementary Figure 4. The data shown in Figure 4b were quantified as a percentage of
phospho-JNK1.
Supplementary Figure 5. Pin1-induced JNK1 activity is stable.
GST, GST-Pin1, or GST-Pin1 (C113A) proteins were pulled down with GST beads and then
each bead complex was incubated with active JNK1 for 1 h at room temperature. After
removal of GST-fusion proteins by centrifugation, the supernatants were subjected to SDS-
PAGE and then immunoblotted with antibodies as indicated. The same supernatant samples
were also subjected to in vitro kinase assays.
Supplementary Figure 6. Pin1 enhances JNK1/TCFβ1-mediated IL-2 production.
After 16 h stimulation with PMA/ionomycin, supernatants were analyzed for IL-2 production
using an ELISA assay. The results presented are representative of three independent
experiments. Error bars indicate ±SD. Statistical significance was determined by the Student t
test. *P <0.05 and **P <0.01 compared with control (TCFβ1 WT alone). #P <0.05 compared
with control (TCFβ1 WT + JNK1).
Supplementary Figure 7. Hypothetical model for the role of Pin1 in JNK1 activation.
The docking domain and the catalytic pocket of inactive JNK1 are depicted by rectangular
and skewed triangular indentations, respectively. First, JNK1 is phosphorylated by several
stresses, including UV, TNF-α and oxidative stress (H2O2), and partially activated by
phosphorylation-induced structural changes in the docking domain and the catalytic pocket.
The docking domain and the catalytic pocket of partially active JNK1 are indicated by oval
and triangular indentations, respectively. Then, Pin1 binds to the pThr 183-Pro motif of JNK1
and induces subsequent cis-trans isomerization of the peptidyl-prolyl bond in the motif
(inset). This isomerization induces further conformational change in the docking domain for
substrate binding to become fully active. The docking domain of fully active JNK1 is
depicted by pentagonal indentation. The JNK1 recognition site and the phosphoacceptor
region of the target substrate are indicated by pentagonal and triangular extrusions,
respectively. Double arrows denote up-regulation.
