Fig. 6From: Additional sex combs interacts with enhancer of zeste and trithorax and modulates levels of trimethylation on histone H3K4 and H3K27 during transcription of hsp70 Asx interacts with E(z) and Trx in Drosophila S2 cells in vivo. a Proximity ligation assay (PLA) between Asx and Trx with Drosophila S2 cells before and after heat-shock induction. Nuclei were labeled with DAPI in blue and PLA signals in green for Asx-Trx and in red for Asx-E(z). b PLA between Asx and E(z) with S2 cells before and after heat-shock induction. c, d Schematic diagram of PLA reaction. Oligonucleotides and antibodies used in PLA are listed in “Methods” section. A closed circle between connector and splints forms if proteins are in close proximity. Rolling-circle amplification (RCA) was carried out in the presence of fluorescent-labeled oligonucleotides. Signals would be detected only when proteins were in distance between 10 and 80 nmBack to article page
