Fig 5. Calcium/Calmodulin dependent kinase II is associated with TM219 complex in MCF7 treated with IGFBP3.
A-Anti-TM219 antibody crosslinked to agarose beads and packed into a column was used to purify TM219 associated proteins from MCF7 cells treated (S) or untreated (C) with 1 μM IGFBP3. As a control we used normal mouse antibodies (N) conjugated to agarose beads. Eluted proteins were immunoprobed with anti-CaMKII antibody. Purified proteins from cells treated with IGFBP3 reacted specifically with anti-CaMKII antibody. These purified proteins were associated with also associated with calmodulin. B-Knockdown of CaMK II transcript using specific siRNAs diminished the phospho-beclin-1 signal in cells treated with IGFBP3 compared to MCF7 cells transfected with scrambled siRNAs or wild types.
