    Enrichment and purification of flagellar proteins and analysis of phosphoproteins in the flagellar MMA fraction. Totals of 20 μg and 25 μg of proteins from a crude extract (CE) and the flagellar MMA fraction, respectively, were separated by 9% SDS-PAGE along with a molecular mass standard and immunoblotted with specific antibodies against the C1 subunit of CHLAMY1 (A), VIPP1 (B), CK1 (C), phospho-Thr (E), and phospho-Tyr (F) or stained with Coomassie brilliant blue (D).

    Examples of variances and clustering of phosphorylation sites. Black boxes mark identified phosphopeptides. (A) Predicted domain structure of tektin along with its tektin domain (TEK). (B) Variances of phosphorylation sites in phosphopeptide 1 of tektin. The amino acid positions are mentioned at the top. Dark and light gray backgrounds mark peptides with four and three phosphorylation sites, respectively. No background is used for the peptides with two phosphorylation sites. “p” indicates in vivo phosphorylation sites. (C) Variances of phosphorylation sites in phosphopeptide 2 of tektin. (D) Predicted structure of FAP190 along with its SAM domain. Black circles indicate nonvariable in vivo phosphorylation sites, and open circles indicate variable in vivo phosphorylation sites on Ser residues at different positions (numbers in parentheses) within the phosphopeptides.

    FIG. 4.

    In vivo phosphorylation sites in structural flagellar phosphoproteins. Identified phosphopeptides are marked by black boxes in 4-fold (A, B, D, E, and G), 8-fold (C), and 16-fold (F) amplitudes. Circles indicate Ser residues, squares Thr residues, and triangles Tyr residues, which are phosphorylated at positions (numbers in parentheses) within the amino acid sequence of Vs2 protein models. Black circles, squares, or triangles mark nonvariable in vivo phosphorylation sites, and white circles, squares, or triangles mark variable in vivo phosphorylation sites (see Table S1 in the supplemental material). The domain structure was analyzed by NCBI protein BLAST homology searches. *, the depicted protein represents the Vs3 model for IC138.

    FIG. 5.

    Positions of in vivo phosphorylation sites of flagellar kinases and one ATPase. Identified phosphopeptides are marked by black boxes in fourfold (A and D) and eightfold (B and C) amplitudes. Circles indicate Ser residues, squares Thr residues, and triangles Tyr residues, which are phosphorylated at positions (numbers in parentheses) within the amino acid sequence of Vs2 protein models. Black circles, squares, or triangles mark nonvariable in vivo phosphorylation sites, and open circles, squares, or triangles mark variable in vivo phosphorylation sites. The domain structure was adapted from NCBI protein BLAST homology searches. CAP, cAMP receptor protein effector domain; Ser/Thr Kin, Ser/Thr protein kinase catalytic domain; E1-E2 ATPase, E1-E2 ATPase domain; P-ATP, soluble P-type ATPase domain; A-C, cation-transporting ATPase C-terminal domain.

    FIG. 6.

    Components of the flagella and the positions of its phosphoproteins (in gray). A schematic diagram of a cross section of a flagellum from C. reinhardtii (A) and a more detailed view (B), represented by the black box in panel A, are shown. The locations of the components were adapted from several studies (27, 28, 32, 33, 45, 48, 54, 58, 61). FM, flagellar membrane; O, outer dynein arm; I, inner dynein arm; R, radial spoke; N, nexin bridge; C1P, C1 central pair projection; C2P, C2 central pair projection. (B) Identified phosphorylated proteins have been depicted in gray. C1, C1 central pair of microtubules; C2, C2 central pair of microtubules; PF6, PF6 protein; H, hydin; RSP17, radial spoke protein 17; DC1, outer dynein arm docking complex 1; DC2, outer dynein arm docking complex 2; T, tektin; IC138, inner dynein arm intermediate chain protein 138; IFT, intraflagellar transport particle including intraflagellar transport protein 43.
