Identification of HSP60 as the target of P17. (a) Protocols used for pull-down-assay-based analysis of binder of P17. (b) Biotin-P17 labeled streptavidin magnetic beads were used for pull-down assay from TRAIL-treated Jurkat cell extracts. Bound proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE. Absent from TRAIL-untreated and bead-control samples, a major band at 58 kDa was excised for mass spectrometry and identified as HSP60. (c) Mass spectrometry analysis identified peptides in HSP60 with 37% sequence coverage. Matched amino acids were shown in red. (d) Colocalization of FITC-P17 and anti-HSP60 (Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated) in TRAIL-treated Jurkat cells (Scale bars: 10 μm) observed by confocal microscopy (upper) and analyzed by Image-Pro Plus (bottom). (e) The schematic illustration for pull-down and western blot analysis. (f) Detection of HSP60 in pull-down samples by western blot and coomassie brilliant blue staining.
