Fig. 3. Immunoprecipitation experiments. (A) Immunoprecipitation of
GDF3 and BMP4 from animal caps of frog embryo. First and second panels show
10% crude levels input for immunoprecipitation. Third panel shows
immunoprecipitation with FLAG-GDF3, blotted for HA-BMP4; fourth panel shows
immunoprecipitation with HA-BMP4, blotted for GDF3. Prepro forms are indicated
(**, <<) and mature forms are indicated (*, <).
(B) Immunoprecipitation by BMP4-HA or activin-HA using m
HA
antibody and blotting with goat
GDF3. The GDF3 prepro (**)
form is shown in the upper panel and mature form (*) in the lower
panel. (C) Immunoprecipitation of GDF3 by BMP4-HA from CM of COS cells.
GDF3 and BMP4 were transfected into separate COS cells
(lanes 1,2,4,5) or together in the same COS cells (lanes 3,6). In lane 5, COS
CM from separately transfected GDF3 and BMP4 cells was mixed
together for the immunoprecipitation. Only the prepro form of GDF3 is
shown.
