H3-K36me3 recruits PTB to exon IIIb via MRG15. (A) Immunoblot
detection of PTB and MRG15 after immuno-precipitation of PTB.
(B) Reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation of over-expressed
MRG15-V5/His and PTB-HA in Hela cells. (C to E)
RNA immunoprecipitation of PTB, MRG15, or Sm proteins in FGFR2 exons IIIb
and IIIc in PNT2 (red) or hMSC (black) cells. Values represent means
± SEM from three independent experiments. (F and
G) Overexpression of MRG15 (F) or SET2 (G) in PNT2 (red) or
hMSC (black) cells for 48 hours before RNA immunoprecipitation of PTB.
Values represent means ± SEM from three independent experiments.
(H and I) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of exon
ratios in PNT2 cells depleted of MRG15 and MRGX (siMRG, yellow) or
cyclophilin B (siCycB, red) after overexpression of SET2 or EGFP. Ratios are
as follows: exon IIIb/IIIc for FGFR2 (H) and exon v6/e2 for CD44 (I). Values
represent means T SEM from five independent experiments. *P
< 0.05, **P < 0.01, Student's
t test compared to control.
