Fig. 6. Lqf-dependent processing of Dl. Western blot analysis of Myc-tagged Dl
co-overexpressed with Neur in clones of wild-type (lane 1) or
lqf- (lane 2) cells; only cells within the clones
overexpress MycDl and Neur (see Materials and methods; the same
result was obtained in all of three independent experiments). In wild-type
cells, two bands are found, which correspond in size, respectively, to
full-length MYCDl (
105 kDa) and a truncated form (
50 kDa)
which is smaller than the size expected for the Myc-tagged Dl extracellular
domain (
75 kDa), but larger than that expected for the complementary
Myc-tagged portion of Dl consisting of the transmembrane and cytosolic domains
(
40 kDa). In lqf- cells, only the upper, apparently
unprocessed, band is observed.
