CBX proteins do not interact with each other and do not colocalize. A, GST-pull down analysis of interactions between CBX4 and CBX family proteins indicates that CBX4 oligomerizes but does not interact directly with the other CBX proteins in vitro. GST-tagged CBX4 and GFP control proteins were expressed in E. coli, bound to glutathione-Sepharose, and incubated with in vitro expressed TAP-tagged CBX proteins as indicated. Bound material was washed, proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and Western blots probed with a peroxidase anti-peroxidase (αPAP) antibody to reveal TAP-tagged proteins. B, CBX proteins show different nuclear localization patterns. U2-OS cell lines stably expressing GFP-tagged CBX proteins were fixed with paraformaldehyde and localization of fusion proteins visualized by fluorescence microscopy (right panels). Hoechst staining labels nuclei (left panels).
