Conditions have been established for one-dimensional isoelectric focusing using vertical slab gel electrophoresis, followed by immunoblotting, for the measurement of the phosphorylation state of proteins. The method provides a less time-consuming alternative to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with radiolabeling or immunoblotting. The main advantage of the method is that many samples can be analyzed simultaneously. The technique is applied here to the study of a mammalian initiation factor for protein synthesis, eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF-2). The method allows good separation and quantitation of the different phosphorylated forms of the α subunit of eIF-2, when used to analyze either purified eIF-2 or eIF-2 contained in complex mixtures. The method is shown to be well adapted to the measurement of rapid phosphorylation/dephosphorylation kinetics in cell extracts, as well as the measurement of the phosphorylation state of eIF-2 in cultured cells. In addition, the method is shown to confirm the existence of a second phosphorylation site on eIF-2. Although eIF-2 has been used for this demonstration of the efficacy of the method, the technique is applicable to a study of the regulation of covalent modification of any polypeptide for which antibodies are available.
