Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Sequence alignment of full-length human (NP_689474), mouse (NP_001013046), chicken (NP_001006244), Xenopus frog (NP_989399), and zebrafish (NP_998306) transmembrane protein 263 (TMEM263) using Clustal-omega . Identical amino acids are shaded black and similar amino acids are shaded gray. Gaps are indicated by dash lines. The two predicted transmembrane domains are indicated in red. ( B ) TMEM263 expression across normal human tissues based on the consensus Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Gene-Tissue Expression (GTEx) datasets. The data can be accessed via the HPA database ( https://www.proteinatlas.org ). nTPM denotes normalized protein-coding transcripts per million and it corresponds to the mean values of the different individual samples from each tissue. Bars are color-coded based on tissue groups with functional features in common. ( C ) Tmem263 expression across mouse tissues (n=11). Relative expression across tissues were first normalized to β-actin , then normalize to the tissue (pancreas) with the lowest expression. ( D ) Immunoblot analysis of cell lysate from HEK293 cells transfected with a control pCDNA3 empty plasmid or plasmid encoding human TMEM263 tagged with a C-terminal Myc-DDK epitope. Immunoblots were probed with an anti-FLAG (DDK) antibody (left panel) or an anti-TMEM263 antibody (right panel). ( E ) TMEM263 is localized to the plasma membrane. Surface biotinylation was carried out on transfected HEK293 cells. Biotinylated plasma membrane proteins were captured with Avidin-agarose beads, eluted, and immunoblotted for TMEM263 with an anti-FLAG antibody. Figure 1—source data 1. Top left – Original uncropped membrane from imager showing blue channel only as a black and white image. Two close molecular markers are noted. FLAG-tagged TMEM263 at the predicted molecular weight is marked. The cropped region used for the main figure image is marked with a dotted box. This membrane was probed with the anti-FLAG antibody. Bottom left – The same membrane as shown above, but overexposed and imaged with the light channel to show the entire membrane outline. The anti-FLAG antibody is very clean and therefore the membrane boarder is hard to see otherwise. Top right – Original uncropped membrane from imager showing blue channel only as a black and white image. Two close molecular markers are noted. FLAG-tagged TMEM263 at the predicted molecular weight is marked. The cropped region used for the main figure image is marked with a dotted box. This membrane was probed with the anti-FLAG antibody. Bottom left – The same membrane as shown above, but overexposed and imaged with the light channel to show the entire membrane outline. The anti-TMEM263 antibody is fairly clean and therefore the membrane boarder is hard to see otherwise. Figure 1—source data 2. Left – Original uncropped membrane from imager showing blue channel only as a black and white image. Two close molecular markers are noted. FLAG-tagged TMEM263 at the predicted molecular weight is marked. The cropped region used for the main figure image is marked with a dotted box. This membrane was probed with the anti-FLAG antibody. Right – The same membrane as on the left, but overexposed and imaged with the light channel to show the entire membrane outline.
