Interaction of Gipie with GRP78. (A) Interaction of endogenous Gipie and GRP78. Lysates from U937 cells (left panels) and HUVECs (right panels) were immunoprecipitated with anti-Gipie, anti-GRP78, and normal rabbit IgG antibodies, followed by Western blot analysis using the indicated antibodies. (B) Colocalization of Gipie with GRP78 in HUVECs. HUVECs were fixed and stained with anti-Gipie (green) and anti-KDEL (red) antibodies, showing the localization of Gipie in GRP78-positive ER structures (white box). Scale bars: 10 μm (top panel), 1 μm (bottom panel). (C) Fragments of Gipie tagged with the V5 epitope used in this study. (D) The C-terminal domain (CT) of Gipie is required for interaction with GRP78. Lysates from COS7 cells transfected with fragments of Gipie were immunoprecipitated with anti-V5 antibody, followed by Western blot analysis with anti-KDEL antibody (bottom panels). Expression of Gipie and GRP78 fragments was monitored by Western blot analysis using the indicated antibodies (top and middle panels, respectively). TCL, total cell lysates. CT-V5, C-terminal fragment of Gipie. NT-CC-V5, the mutant lacking the C-terminal fragment of Gipie.
