To understand how a single motor achieves cargo specificity, we attached a promiscuous biotin ligase (BioID) to 6 distinct activators of the dynein machinery motile activity, including two new activators, ninein and ninein-like. BioID experiments were performed with stable HEK293 cell lines expressi...
To identify non-specific biotinylation events, HEK293 cells transfected with a plasmid carrying only the biotin ligase moiety were used as negative controls to BioID experiments. Cells were lysed in the presence of detergents. After purification of biotinylated proteins on streptavidin-conjugated be...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a worldwide public health challenge because of its high prevalence and related disability and mortality; however, the pathogenesis of COPD remains unknown. The aim of this study was to reveal the critical proteins involved in the pathogenesis of COPD. ...
