Fig. 4. SEMG1 and SEMG2 interact with PKM2 and LDHA, upregulates their protein level and enzymatic activity.

Fig. 4

Recombinant SEMG1 and SEMG2 bind PKM2, whereas SEMG1 only binds LDHA in GST pull-down assay followed by western-blotting. B 3×Flag-tagged SEMG1 and SEMG2 bind PKM2, whereas SEMG1 only binds LDHA in co-immunoprecipitation. C 3×Flag-tagged PKM2 interacts with both endogenous SEMG1 and SEMG2 in H520 cells, whereas 3xFlag-tagged LDHA binds SEMG1 only (co-immunoprecipitation). D Overexpression of SEMG1 and SEMG2 in H1299 cell line does not alters the mRNA levels of PKM2 and LDHA (Real-Time PCR). The stable overexpression of SEMG1 and SEMG2 increase the protein level and enzymatic activity of PKM2, whereas the overexpression of SEMG1 only elevates the protein level and enzymatic activity of LDHA in E, F H1299 cells and G, H Mia-Paca 2 cells. Knockdown of SEMG1 and SEMG2 in H520 cells decreases the protein level (I) and enzymatic activity (J) of PKM2 and LDHA. Three biological replicates were used for all quantifications, data are presented as mean ± S.D., *P < 0.05.
