Studies on the intracellular behavior of CRELD2 protein in living Neuro2a cells using a NanoLuc complementary reporter assay. (A) Schematic structures of NanoBiT-tagged constructs used in this study. (B) After transfection of the indicated CRELD2 gene into the cloned CRELD2-deficient cells, expression of the indicated protein was determined as described in the Materials and methods section. (C) Twenty-hour hours after transfection of the indicated genes into the cloned CRELD2 deficient cells, culture medium was replaced with OPTI-MEM and cells were cultured for additional 6 h. After incubation, culture medium was collected for measurement of extracellular NanoBiT activity (open bars). For measurement of intracellular NanoBiT activity, culture medium was replaced with fresh OPTI-MEM, and the diluted substrate was directly added to each well to measure the NanoBiT activity (filled bars). (D) Thirty hours after transfection of SP-SmBiT-CRELD2 together with the indicated gene, culture medium was replaced with fresh OPTI-MEM and the diluted substrate was directly added to each well to measure the intracellular NanoBiT activity in living cells. Each value represents the mean ± SEM from 3 independent cultures.
