6. Figure 5 Dissection of Csk-Dependent and -Independent Roles of Cbp
(A) Wild-type Csk or CskKN was expressed in c-Src/Cbp cells, and total cell lysates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. The slower migration of Cbp in Csk expressing cells is due to the lower levels of Cbp phosphorylation.

(C) Cbp was immunoprecipitated from the raft and nonraft fractions in (B), and the immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies.

8. Figure 7
Schematic Models of the Roles of Cbp/Csk and Lipid Rafts in Regulating the Transforming Potential of c-Src
(A) In c-Src-transformed cells, the expression of Cbp is downregulated by unknown mechanisms, and activated c-Src is thereby constitutively retained in nonraft compartments, i.e., focal contacts, and interacts with critical targets such as FAK and Cas to induce cell transformation.
(B) When Cbp is expressed, phosphorylated Cbp (pY165/183 or pY381/409) directly binds to activated c-Src and sequesters it in lipid rafts, resulting in efficient suppression of c-Src function. Excessive cholesterol can also sequester activated c-Src into lipid rafts.
(C) When Csk is present, Csk is recruited to lipid rafts via binding to Cbp at pY314 and phosphorylates c-Src Y527 to inactivate the catalytic activity of c-Src. The inactivated c-Src then relocates to nonraft compartments.
