Fig. 3. Heterodimerization of MsGC-ß3 with MsGC-
1 and MsGC-ß1.
Extracts of COS-7 cells that were transiently cotransfected with MsGC-ß3
and either empty vector (pcDNA3.1), or hexa-histidine (His6)-tagged
MsGC-ß3
C338, MsGC-
1 or MsGC-ß1, were incubated with
nickel-chelated agarose and the bound proteins analyzed by western blot. (A)
Blot probed with MsGC-ß3 antiserum shows that MsGC-ß3 is pelleted
when cotransfected with either tagged MsGC-ß3
C338, tagged
MsGC-
1 or tagged MsGC-ß1, but the intensity of the
immunoreactivity is highest when cotransfected with tagged
MsGC-ß3
C338. (B) Western blot of input extract stained with
anti-MsGC-ß3.
