Identification of Samd1 as an unappreciated transcriptional repressor. (A) Compartmentalization western blot showing distribution of Samd1 in VSMCs. β-actin serves as cytoplasm marker. Lamin A serves as nuclear marker. Cadherin serves as cell membrane marker. (B) Samd1 protein analysis by Phyre2. The Smad1 homologs match has confidence of more than 99.7% and sequence identities of more than 29%. (C) Samd1 predicted domain (left); Polyhomeotic-like protein, chain E (modified PDB 4PZO, middle); Sex comb on midleg cg9495-pa, chain B (modified PDB 1PK1, right). (D) Samd1 secondary structural predication, comparison, analyzation with known DNA binding protein. (E) The pocket detection analysis of Samd1 protein by Fpocket. (F) ChIP assay of Samd1 DNA binding using IgG or anti-Samd1 antibody. Data were presented as mean ± SD, n = 4. *P < 0.05 as compared with IgG control.
