FIG. 7.
Interaction between TMPRSS2 and ACE2. (A) 293T cells transfected with pCAGGS-TMPRSS2FLAG (0.5 μg per 106 cells) and pcDNA3.1-ACE2C9 (1 μg per 106 cells), individually or in combination, were lysed and subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-FLAG, mouse anti-C9, or mouse IgG antibody on protein G magnetic beads. Eluted proteins were analyzed by IB using the indicated antibodies. (B) Lysates from 293T cells transfected with pCAGGS-TMPRSS2FLAG (0.5 μg per 106 cells) or pCAGGS-TMPRSS2(S441A)FLAG (0.5 μg per 106 cells), individually or in combination with pcDNA3.1-ACE2C9 (1 μg per 106 cells), were subjected to IPs using rabbit anti-FLAG antibody. Eluted proteins were analyzed by IB using mouse anti-C9 antibody. The values to the left are molecular sizes in kilodaltons.
