hnRNP L interacts with CD154 mRNA in a 3′-UTR
CARE-dependent manner. a, PTB and hnRNP L were immunoprecipitated
from cytosolic and nuclear extracts from activated (PMA/ionomycin, 24 h) T
cells. PTB (BB7 MoAb), hnRNP L (4D11), and P3 (irrelevant isotype control)
were used. PTB and hnRNP L were coimmunoprecipitated in both extracts,
although hnRNP L in PTB immunoprecipitate is not appreciated with this
exposure. Immediately below is shown CD154 mRNA in hnRNP L and PTB
immunoprecipitates from both cytoplasm and nucleus. No GAPDH, interleukin-2,
or γ-interferon mRNA was detectable in either PTB or hnRNP L
immunoprecipitates. b, immunoblot of hnRNP L immunoprecipitate from
cytoplasmic extracts from HeLa cells transfected with control, CARE, or CD154
3′-UTR containing luciferase vectors or no vector (mock).
c, hnRNP L immunoprecipitates contain luciferase mRNA in a
3′-UTR CARE-dependent manner, since no product is seen in extracts
transfected with control vector lacking these sequences. Further specificity
is shown by inability to detect GAPDH mRNA in immunoprecipitates.
