Cytoglobin (CYGB), a member of the globin family, is thought to protect cells from reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and deal with hypoxic conditions and oxidative stress. However, its molecular mechanisms of action are not clearly understood. Through immunoprecipitation combined with a two-dimensional electrophoresis-mass spectrometry assay, we identified a CYGB interactor: aldo-keto reductase family 7 member A2 (AKR7A2). The interaction was further confirmed using yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Our results show that AKR7A2 physically interacts with CYGB.
细胞红蛋白(CYGB)是珠蛋白家族的成员之一,被认为可保护细胞免受活性氧和氮物种的侵害,并应对缺氧条件和氧化应激。然而,其分子作用机制尚不清楚。通过免疫沉淀结合二维电泳-质谱分析,我们鉴定出一种CYGB相互作用分子:醛糖酮还原酶家族7成员A2(AKR7A2)。使用酵母双杂交和免疫共沉淀分析进一步证实了这种相互作用。我们的结果表明,AKR7A2与CYGB存在物理相互作用。
