Frataxin Precursor Interacts with RNF126
HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with the indicated constructs. Protein extracts were collected 40 hr post-transfection.
(A) Proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-frataxin (anti-fxn) antibody. Arrow indicates RNF126 coprecipitated with frataxin. ∗Antibody heavy chain.
(B) Proteins were immunoprecipitated with anti-RNF126 antibody. Upper left panel: short exposure. Upper right panel: long exposure. ∗Non-specific band.
Immunoprecipitate (IP) and total cell extract (tot) were probed on a WB with anti-frataxin (anti-fxn) antibody or anti-RNF126 antibody, as indicated. Pre, precursor int, intermediate; mat, mature frataxin; Ub-fxn, ubiquitinated frataxin; ex RNF126, overexpressed exogenous RNF126; end RNF126, endogenous RNF126.
