Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A, B ) Immunoprecipitation of DAT with two DAT antibodies directed against different DAT epitopes results in the co-precipitation of Gβ subunits from mouse striatum. Control experiments include immunoprecipitations with nonspecific rat or rabbit IgGs or immunoprecipitations from DAT knockout striatum or mouse cerebellum. ( C, D ) Immunoprecipitation of DAT resulted in the co-immunoprecipitation of Gβ subunits from MN9D-DAT cells or HEK293-DAT cells. Control experiments include immunoprecipitations from MN9D or HEK293 mock-transfected cells. Three different DAT antibodies were used; DAT 1 (Mab369, Millipore), DAT 2 (H-80, Santa Cruz), and DAT 3 (c-20, Santa Cruz). Immunoblotting was performed with a Gβ pan-antibody (T-20, Santa Cruz). Cereb = cerebellum, St = striatum, DAT-KO = DAT knockout.
