Figure 4From: Dramatic inhibition of osteoclast sealing ring formation and bone resorption in vitro by a WASP-peptide containing pTyr294 amino acid Analysis of the interaction of Arp2 with the endogenous WASP and transduced peptides. Osteoclasts were transduced with the WASP peptides as shown below the figures. Lysates were immunoprecipitated with a WASP (A and B) or HA (C and D) antibody. A and B: WASP immunoprecipitates were first immunoblotted with an antibody to Arp2 (A) and subsequently stripped and blotted with an antibody to WASP (B). C and D: HA-immunoprecipitates were divided into two halves; one half was immunoblotted with an Arp 2 antibody (C) and the other half was subjected to 8% (D, lane 1) and 15% (D, lanes 2–5) SDS-PAGE. Immunoblotting was performed with a HA-antibody (D) to detect the levels of transduced proteins immunoprecipitated in each lane. Immunoprecipitation with a nonimmune serum is shown in lane 6 (A-D). The results represent one of three experiments performed from three separate osteoclast preparations.Back to article page
