Fig. 4. TSSC4 interacts with PRPF8, SNRNP200, and EFTUD2 in the cytoplasm.

Fig. 4

a HeLa cells co-transfected with TSSC4-DDX6-dsRed fusion protein (red) and U5-specific proteins tagged with GFP or FLAG (turquoise). The DDX6/p54 peptide targets the TSSC4-DDX6-dsRed protein into cytoplasmic P-bodies. Co-recruitment of individual U5 proteins (PRPF8, SNRNP200, and EFTUD2) into P-bodies indicates their interaction with TSSC4. P-bodies marked by arrows are enlarged three times in insets. Scale bar represents 10 μm. b Quantification of P-body localization. The signal of GFP/FLAG-tagged U5-specific proteins in P-bodies was corrected by subtraction of the signal in the surrounding cytoplasm and compared to the signal in the nucleus. In total, 50 P-bodies were analyzed for each condition and shown in a box blot (center line—median; box limits—1st and 3rd quartiles; whiskers—5th and 95th percentile), two lowest and two highest values are depicted as separate dots. Statistical significance was determined by the two-tailed T test, and all P values lower than 0.0001 are indicated by ****. Original values for box plots are provided in the Source Data file.
