Figure 2. Silencing of the Ehlgl1 Gene.

Figure 2

(A) Diagrams of the Ehlgl1-containing plasmids pB33 and pAY. The 473 bp Ehap-a promoter, SINE and T-rich (Tr) regions are marked. Plasmid pAY includes 44 bp of the signal peptide (sp) of the Ehap-a gene. Both plasmids contain the ORF of Ehlgl1 gene and the 3′ regulatory sequence from the Ehactin gene.

(B) Northern blot analysis of amoebic RNA extracts. Lanes: 1, untransfected HM1:IMSS; 2, HM-1:IMSS transfected with plasmid pB33; 3, HM-1:IMSS transfected with pAY; 4, untransfected clone G3; 5, clone G3 transfected with pB33; 6, clone G3 transfected with pAY. Blots were probed as indicated.

(C) Western blot analysis of protein lysates separated on SDS-PAGE (12%) showing the blot that reacted with the polyclonal antibodies against the Lgl1 protein. Lanes 1–6 are as (B). Lane 7 contains lysate from the plasmidless RBV trophozoites (see Results).
