Cholesterol efflux in megakaryocyte progenitors suppresses platelet production and thrombocytosis

…The rabbit antibody to ABCG4 was custom made by Pacific Immunology (CA, USA) against a synthetic ABCG4 peptide (KKVENHITEAQRFSHLPKR). Monospecific anti-peptide antibodies werepurified using a peptide-affinity column. The specificity of the antibody forABCG4 protein was assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy, which showed specific immunofluorescence signals in HEK293 cells expressing ABCG4 but notHEK293 cells transfected with mock vectors…

A detergent-free strategy for the reconstitution of active enzyme complexes from native biological membranes into nanoscale discs

…For immunodetection of mitochondrial proteins, samples were resuspended in SIB and solubilized with DDM or SMA as indicated. Following transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes, Western blotting was performed with primary antibodies against the Sdh3 subunit of respiratory Complex II (Pacific Immunology) or against the Tim50 subunit of the TIM23 Complex (a gift from Dr. Dejana Mokranjac) and Amersham ECL Plex Cy5-conjugated secondary antibodies.

EscE and EscG are co-chaperones for the type III needle protein EscF of enteropathogenic E. coli

…Type III secretion systems (T3SS) are central virulence mechanisms used by a variety of Gram-negative bacteria to inject effector proteins into host cells. The needle polymer is an essential part of the T3SS that provides the effector proteins a continuous channel into the host cytoplasm…
