Fig. 9From: NME6 is a phosphotransfer-inactive, monomeric NME/NDPK family member and functions in complexes at the interface of mitochondrial inner membrane and matrixProximity ligation assays reveal association of NME proteins with OPA1 and RCC1L. a–c Proximity ligation assays (PLA) using MDA-MB-231T cells (Ctrl) or clones stably overexpressing NME6-186-FLAG (KI-186-18). Pictures show merged nuclear (green) and PLA stain (red), and PLA stain only (grey). PLA directed against a NME6/FLAG-NME6, NME6/OPA1 and NME6/RCC1L, b NME6/ANT, NME6/MFN and FLAG-NME6/DRP1, c NME4/FLAG-NME6, NME4/OPA1 and NME4/RCC1L. d Dual immunofluorescence stain of NME6 (green) and RCC1L (red) revealing colocalization in both Ctrl and KI-186-18 cells. PLA for NME6/FLAG-NME6 identifies two epitopes on the same protein as in KI-186-18 cells (positive control), but fails when FLAG-NME6 is lacking as in Ctrl cells (negative control). The NME4/FLAG PLA detects NME4/NME6 association, but is only applicable to KI-186-18 cells. (All scalebars: 10 µm)Back to article page
