(A) PS1 forms complexes with E-cadherin and γ-catenin.
Extract of confluent MDCK cells in TNE buffer plus 1% digitonin (9)
was treated with the antibodies indicated at the top of the figure, and
the resulting IPs were probed on WBs with antibodies against the
proteins indicated on the right. For reference, 20 μg of MDCK cell
lysate was also probed. TR, transferrin receptor; PI-R222, rabbit 222
preimmune serum; I-R222, rabbit 222 antiserum; 33B10, anti-PS1/CTF
monoclonal antibody. (B) Triton X-100 effects on
PS1/β-catenin and PS1/E-cadherin complexes. Extracts of
confluent MDCK cells in 1% digitonin were immunoprecipitated with
antibodies against E-cadherin (E-cad) or β-catenin (β-cat), and the
resulting IPs were washed in the presence (+) or absence (−) of 1%
Triton X-100 (TX100). The remaining immunocomplexes were collected by
centrifugation and probed on WBs with antibody R222 (PS1/NTF) or
33B10 (PS1/CTF).
