Proteins that interact with the human kappa opioid receptor (hKOPR) may contribute to regulation and signaling of the receptor. In this paper, we focus on the protein 14-3-3zeta that regulates anterograde transport of the hKOPR from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. 14-3-3zeta interacts with the C-terminal domain of the receptor and promotes cell surface expression of the hKOPR by inhibiting coatomer protein I (COPI) and RVR motif-mediated ER retension of the hKOPR. Here we describe three experimental procedures we used to evaluate the interaction between hKOPR and 14-3-3zeta: co-immunoprecipitation, pull-down assay and immunofluorescence microscopy.
与人类κ阿片受体(hKOPR)相互作用的蛋白质可能有助于该受体的调节和信号传导。在本文中,我们聚焦于调节hKOPR从内质网(ER)到高尔基体的顺向转运的蛋白质14-3-3ζ。14-3-3ζ与该受体的C末端结构域相互作用,并通过抑制外衣蛋白I(COPI)和RVR基序介导的hKOPR的内质网滞留来促进hKOPR的细胞表面表达。在此,我们描述了用于评估hKOPR与14-3-3ζ之间相互作用的三个实验程序:免疫共沉淀、下拉测定和免疫荧光显微镜检查。
