Figure 3From: The HTLV-1 Tax protein binding domain of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) includes the regulatory PSTAIRE helixDeletion of two regions in CDK4 interferes with Tax-binding in vivo . A) Tax and CDK4 mutants were coexpressed in transfected 293T cells. The complexes were immunoprecipitated by monoclonal Tax antibodies and protein A sepharose. To detect Tax-bound CDK4 mutants, complexes and lysate controls were subjected to gel-electrophoresis and Western blotting. One representative experiment is shown. B) Luminescence emitted by specific bands of two independent experiments was quantitative evaluated and the mean relative Tax binding was calculated.Back to article page
