Altered interactions of DHC/DIC and dynein/dynactin in Loa. A, antibodies against DHC were cross-linked to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose 4B beads to coimmunoprecipitate both the dynein DIC subunits and dynactin from cytosolic extracts of newborn mouse brains. There was no difference between +/+ and Loa/Loa in the precleaned brain homogenates, as control (right panel, Input), but differences between +/+ and Loa/Loa in IP DIC and p150Glued are present (left panel). B, antibody against dynactin p150Glued coimmunoprecipitated both DHC and DIC subunits from cytosolic extracts of newborn mouse brains. There was no difference between +/+ and Loa/Loa in the precleaned brain homogenates (right panel), but immunoprecipitated DIC and DHC were different between +/+ and Loa/Loa (left panel). C, ratios of DIC/DHC and p150Glued/DHC in Loa/Loa were compared with those of +/+ by densitometry quantification of DIC and p150Glued bands in A. Two-way analysis of variances (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post-tests indicated that there is a significant difference between the genotypes (p < 0.0001, residual degrees of freedom = 19) and that the fold changes in Loa/Loa DIC/DHC and p150Glued/DHC ratios are significantly different relative to +/+ (p < 0.001 for both ratios). D, DIC/p150Glued and DHC/p150Glued ratios in Loa/Loa were compared with those in +/+ by densitometry quantification of DIC, DHC, and p150Glued bands in B. ANOVA and Bonferroni post-tests showed that the genotype significantly affects the ratios (p < 0.0001, residual degrees of freedom = 22) and that the fold change in Loa/Loa DIC/p150Glued ratio is significantly different relative to +/+ (p < 0.001). DHC/p150Glued ratios were not significantly different (p > 0.05), but they showed the same trend as DIC/p150Glued ratios.
