Article Title: TRPM2 enhances ischemic excitotoxicity by associating with PKCγ.
doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.113722
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. PKCg binding motif in TRPM2 is required for TRPM2-PKCg coupling (A) Alignment of the PKC binding sequence in RACK and annexin1 with human TRPM2. (B) Co-immunoprecipitation of PKCg by TRPM2 in HEK293T cells co-expressed with PKCg and TRPM2, N tail of TRPM2 (TRPM2-NT), and PKC-binding-motif- deleted TRPM2 (TRPM2-DPBM). (C) Graphic illustration showing the structure of TRPM2 and the position of PBM. (D) In vitro binding assay. The C2 domain of PKCg was conjugated with a GST tag, while the MHR1/2 domain of TRPM2 was conjugated with a His6 tag. Anti-GST antibody was used for immunoprecipitation, and GST was used as a negative control (labeled as #2). Pull-down efficiency was evaluated using Coomassie blue staining (left) and immunoblotting by anti-His6 antibody (right). (E and F) Whole-cell current recording of TRPM2 in HEK293T cells transfected with PKCg and TRPM2-WT (green) or TRPM2-DPBM (red). (E) Representative traces. PMA (10 mM) was used to induce TRPM2 activation, NMDG to test seal tightness, and ACA to block TRPM2 current. (F) Quantification of current amplitude (n = 9, 8). (G–I) CKAR real-time imaging in HEK293T cells transfected with PKCg and TRPM2-WT (green) or TRPM2-DPBM (red). (G) FRET intensity before and 10 min after 100 mM H2O2 perfusion. (H) Averaged representative traces from 5 randomly chosen cells. (I) Quantification of FRET changes (n = 10–20).
