Article Title: Disease-Associated Mutations Prevent GPR56-Collagen III Interaction
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0029818
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Human GPR56 N -hFc aa 27–382 schematic. The positions of the disease-associated mutations are shown. ( B ) Co-IP of human GPR56 N and purified human collagen III. Collagen III was detected in GPR56 IP complex, but not in mutant GPR56 complexes. Anti-hFc immunoblot served as a loading control. ( C–F ) Putative ligand binding of human GPR56 N -hFc on E14.5 mouse cortex. Strong binding signal was detected (green) with wild type human GPR56 N -hFc protein staining, whereas a loss of signal occurred in mutant proteins. Nuclear counterstain was performed with Hoechst 33342 (blue). Scale bar, 200 µm.
Article Snippet: Immunocomplexes were subjected to SDS-PAGE and western blot using rabbit anti-human collagen III antibody (Lifespan Biosciences), and rabbit anti-human IgG Fc antibody (Thermo Scientific) following standard protocols.
