    Bethyl anti pelp1 polyclonal antibody
    ( A ) Cryo-EM structure of the human pre-60S ribosome with the rixosome bound [PDB ID:8FL2 ]. Only the conserved scaffolding core of the rixosome <t>(PELP1</t> Rix1 domain, WDR18, and TEX10) is visible in the structure. Also see fig. S1. The rixosome core is formed by two copies of the PELP1 Rix1 domain (shades of teal), two copies of WDR18 (shades of orange), and one copy of TEX10 (pink). ( B ) Structure of the rixosome core indicating the putative positions of the PELP1 C-terminal IDRs. It remains unclear how the three rixosome enzyme LAS1L (ribonuclease, RNase), NOL9 (poly-nucleotide kinase, PNK), and SENP3 (SUMO protease) associate with the rixosome core. ( C ) Schematic of C-terminal FLAG-tagged PELP1 variant/truncation constructs (1 to 6) used to affinity purify the rixosome in the co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) experiment displayed in (D). Checkmarks and X marks denote qualitative binding results for specific rixosome components to the PELP1 variant used for reconstitution and co-IP. * denotes a notable decrease (but still detectable) in signal for specific rixosome components. ( D ) SDS-PAGE and Western blot using antibodies for the endogenous rixosome proteins qualitatively identified the presence or absence of rixosome proteins (endogenous and exogenous) upon co-IP from human cells of PELP1 variants in (C). EV denotes empty vector control.

Checkmarks and X marks denote qualitative binding results for SENP3, MDN1, or histones to the PELP1 variant used for reconstitution and co-IP. ( E ) SDS-PAGE and Western blot using antibodies for the exogenous rixosome proteins upon co-IP from human cells of PELP1 variants in (D) + or − a nonspecific nuclease in the lysis buffer.

Red arrows at bottom denote sample lanes with histone copurification. ( F ) SDS-PAGE and Western blot using specific antibodies for the endogenous protein targets copurifying with PELP1/rixosome complexes upon co-IP from human cells in (E) + a nonspecific nuclease in the lysis buffer. MDN1 qualitative binding was confirmed by Western blot.

( G ) SDS-PAGE and Western blot from an endogenous PELP1 co-IP from HEK293FT cells + a nonspecific nuclease in the lysis buffer using PELP1-specific antibody.

Changes in amount of HA-SUMO2 conjugated proteins in vivo was assayed after transfecting cells with wild-type or C532A catalytic mutant SENP3 in combination with titrated transfection of wild-type PELP1. Decreasing amounts of transfected DNA expressing exogenous PELP1 with wild-type SENP3 resulted in an overall dose-dependent increase of HA-SUMO2–conjugated proteins similar to that observed with SENP3 C532A (catalytic-dead mutant). ( E ) Same as (D) except HA-tagged SUMO1 was used.

    ( A ) Swiss army knife model of the rixosome. The PELP1-WDR18-TEX10 scaffolding core is analogous to the housing unit of the knife from which the different diverse tools extend outward, including scissors (RNase PNK RNA cutting), saw blade (SENP3 protease), and corkscrew (MDN1 ATPase motor remodeling). ( B ) Cartoon structural model of the full human rixosome. The scaffolding core (PELP1-WDR18-TEX10) represents the stable core of the rixosome complex from which enzymatic components are connected. The RNA processing complex RNase PNK (LAS1L-NOL9) is physically and flexibly tethered to the stable scaffolding core. The deSUMOylation enzyme SENP3 and AAA-ATPase MDN1 are distinctly integrated with the rixosome through PELP1’s C-terminal IDRs. ( C ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to the pre-60S subunit [PDB ID: 8FL2 ]. PELP1’s IDRs organize the enzymatic functions of SENP3 and MDN1. ( D ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to polycomb and functioning in gene silencing at facultative heterochromatin. PELP1’s IDRs likely organize multiple enzymatic and nonenzymatic functions at heterochromatin, including SENP3 and MDN1 activity, and putative histone chaperoning by the GAR.

SD was calculated from three independent experiments ( n = 3). ( D ) SDS-PAGE and Western blot of HA-tagged SUMO2 conjugated proteins detected in HEK293FT cell lysate. Changes in amount of HA-SUMO2 conjugated proteins in vivo was assayed after transfecting cells with wild-type or C532A catalytic mutant SENP3 in combination with titrated transfection of wild-type PELP1. Decreasing amounts of transfected DNA expressing exogenous PELP1 with wild-type SENP3 resulted in an overall dose-dependent increase of HA-SUMO2–conjugated proteins similar to that observed with SENP3 C532A (catalytic-dead mutant). ( E ) Same as (D) except HA-tagged SUMO1 was used.

    ( A ) Swiss army knife model of the rixosome. The PELP1-WDR18-TEX10 scaffolding core is analogous to the housing unit of the knife from which the different diverse tools extend outward, including scissors (RNase PNK RNA cutting), saw blade (SENP3 protease), and corkscrew (MDN1 ATPase motor remodeling). ( B ) Cartoon structural model of the full human rixosome. The scaffolding core (PELP1-WDR18-TEX10) represents the stable core of the rixosome complex from which enzymatic components are connected. The RNA processing complex RNase PNK (LAS1L-NOL9) is physically and flexibly tethered to the stable scaffolding core. The deSUMOylation enzyme SENP3 and AAA-ATPase MDN1 are distinctly integrated with the rixosome through PELP1’s C-terminal IDRs. ( C ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to the pre-60S subunit [PDB ID: 8FL2 ]. PELP1’s IDRs organize the enzymatic functions of SENP3 and MDN1. ( D ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to polycomb and functioning in gene silencing at facultative heterochromatin. PELP1’s IDRs likely organize multiple enzymatic and nonenzymatic functions at heterochromatin, including SENP3 and MDN1 activity, and putative histone chaperoning by the GAR.

    ( A ) Swiss army knife model of the rixosome. The PELP1-WDR18-TEX10 scaffolding core is analogous to the housing unit of the knife from which the different diverse tools extend outward, including scissors (RNase PNK RNA cutting), saw blade (SENP3 protease), and corkscrew (MDN1 ATPase motor remodeling). ( B ) Cartoon structural model of the full human rixosome. The scaffolding core (PELP1-WDR18-TEX10) represents the stable core of the rixosome complex from which enzymatic components are connected. The RNA processing complex RNase PNK (LAS1L-NOL9) is physically and flexibly tethered to the stable scaffolding core. The deSUMOylation enzyme SENP3 and AAA-ATPase MDN1 are distinctly integrated with the rixosome through PELP1’s C-terminal IDRs. ( C ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to the pre-60S subunit [PDB ID: 8FL2 ]. PELP1’s IDRs organize the enzymatic functions of SENP3 and MDN1. ( D ) Proposed architectural model of the human rixosome bound to polycomb and functioning in gene silencing at facultative heterochromatin. PELP1’s IDRs likely organize multiple enzymatic and nonenzymatic functions at heterochromatin, including SENP3 and MDN1 activity, and putative histone chaperoning by the GAR.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: PELP1 -KD or SMIP34 treatment suppresses HCC xenograft tumor growth in vivo . Hep3B–control and Hep3B– PELP1 -KD model cells were injected subcutaneously into female ( A , D , and G ) or male SCID mice ( B , E , and H ). Tumor volumes were assessed at 3 to 5 days of intervals. Tumor volume ( A and B ), tumor weights ( D and E ), and IHC analyses of Ki67 and PELP1 ( G and H ) for tumors are shown. Hep3B xenograft tumor fragments measuring 2 to 3 mm 3 were implanted subcutaneously , and following tumor establishment (∼200 mm 3 ), the mice were randomly assigned to receive either vehicle (control) or SMIP34 (20 mg/kg body weight) 5 days a week through i.p. injection ( n = 5). Tumor volume ( C ), tumor weights ( F ) and IHC analyses of Ki67 and PELP1 ( I ) for tumors are shown. Scale bar, 100 μm. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM. P values are calculated using Student t test and two-way ANOVA, *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001; ****, p < 0.0001. Cont sh (Control short hairpin).
