Figure Lengend Snippet: (A ) Immunoblot analysis with anti-His, anti-E6AP, or anti-β-actin (as a loading control) antibodies of whole cell lysates from growth in FreeStyle media for untransfected Expi293 cells (lane 1) or 4 (lane 2), 8 (lane 3), 12 (lane 4), 24 (lane 5), or 48 (lane 6) hours post-transfection with UBE3A-thrombin-StrepII-His plasmid. 10 μg of total protein was added to each lane. (B) Immunoblot analysis with anti-His, anti-E6AP, or anti-β-actin (as a loading control) antibodies of whole cell lysates from growth in 300 mL FreeStyle media for untransfected Expi293 cells and 24 hours post-transfection with UBE3A-thrombin-StrepII-His plasmid (lane 2). 10 μg of total protein was added to each lane. (C ) Fractions subjected to SDS-PAGE during affinity chromatography purification by batch mode of E6AP from Expi293 cells. Lane 5 shows E6AP bound to streptavidin resin by a StrepII tag at its C-terminal end. E6AP lost in wash steps is shown in lanes 7 – 11. Samples from stepwise elutions with 50 mM biotin are shown in lanes 13 through 16. ( D) E6AP-containing fractions resolved by SDS-PAGE following size exclusion chromatography purification. The samples of lanes 13 – 16 of panel A were mixed and injected into an FPLC system for further purification. The final sample was generated by combining fractions 6 through 10.
Article Snippet: In addition to its role in carcinogenesis, E6AP plays a critical role in neurobiological function and its dysfunction is associated with Angelman Syndrome (AS) and autism spectrum disorders [ 17 – 19 ].
