Figure 3. Detection and analysis of proteins that interact with KPNA2 and localization of KPNA2 in the nucleolus.

Figure 3

Proteins that interact with KPNA2 in the cytoplasm and nucleus were purified using the TAP method and detected by silver staining. Proteins marked with arrows were analyzed by LC/MS/MS. HaCaT cells expressing GFP-TAP were used to detect nonspecific interactions. a) The results of LC/MS/MS were analyzed by pathway analysis using reactome (http://www.reactome.org). The categories of “mRNA processing”, “ribonucleoprotein complex biogenesis”, “chromatin modification,” and “transcription” were the most significantly represented pathways. b) Immunohistochemistry revealed KPNA2 co-localization with UBF, a nucleolar marker.
