Validation of double-tagged DDX6 construct to ensure highly specific interaction screen. (A) Exogenously expressed DDX6 has physiological expression levels. Western blot analysis of whole cell lysates from HEK-293 cells (lane 1) or HEK-293 cells containing the DDX6-FLAG-HA construct under control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter (lanes 2 and 3). DDX6-FH = FLAG-HA-tagged DDX6 construct inducibly expressed from 293-DDX6-FH cells. End-DDX6 = endogenous DDX6; (B) Exogenously expressed DDX6 localizes to the expected cellular compartments. Immunofluorescence analysis of HEK-293-DDX6-FLAG-HA cells, in the absence or presence of doxycycline, with antibodies against endogenous DDX6 or the HA epitope tag; (C) Quantification of the average number of P bodies per cell in HEK-293 cells as compared to 293-DDX6-FH cells in the absence or presence of doxycycline.
