Figure 2

The cDNA coding for a carboxyl-terminally HA-tagged receptor was co-transfected in HEK293 cells with an empty plasmid (pcDNA3, Invitrogen) (Control, Lane 1), or the cDNA coding for human matriptase (Mat, Lane 2), protease-dead matriptase (Mat-Mut, Lane 3), Hepsin (Lane 4), protease-dead hepsin (Hepsin-Mut, Lane 5), mouse TMPRSS6 (Lane 6), protease-dead mouse TMPRSS6 (TMPRSS6-Mut, Lane 7), human Prostasin (Lane 8), a GPI-anchored matriptase (GPI-Mat, Lane 9) and protease-dead GPI-anchored matriptase (GPI-Mat-Mut). Twenty micrograms of total cell lysate from each sample were resolved on SDS-PAGE and western-blotted with an anti-HA antibody or an anti-β-tubulin antibody. The p210 INSR and p95 INSR (A), or p180 IGF-1R and p90 IGF-1R (B) are indicated by the arrows, and the CTFs are indicated by the red arrowheads.
