- Figure 1. CSDE1 interacts with different miRISC in animals.
(A) Western blot analysis of miRNA pull-downs using 2′-O-methyl–biotinylated oligonucleotides complementary to listed miRNAs from the lysate of mESCs (V6.5), NIH3T3, and HEK293T cells. Representative immunoblots of four independent experiments are shown. (B) Left panel: 2′-O-methyl pull-down of multiple miRNAs from Drosophila embryos extracts followed by Western blot detection of UNR and Drosophila AGO1 (dAGO1). Right panel: co-immunoprecipitation of UNR and dAGO1. The data are representative of three independent experiments.
- Figure 2. CSDE1 interacts with AGO2 through its N-terminal domains.
(A) Immunoprecipitation of endogenous AGO2 using anti-AGO2 antibody (left) and miR-20a-5p miRNA pull-down (PD) from the lysate of NIH3T3 cells, before (−) and after (+) RNases treatment. The samples were run on the SDS–PAGE gel and probed with the antibodies indicated. Same cell extracts were used to perform both immunoprecipitation (IP) of AGO2 and miR-20a-5p pull-down (PD). Representative data of two independent experiments are shown. (B) Schematics of the deletion mutants of CSDE1 used in the study. (C) Immunoprecipitation of CSDE1 using anti-FLAG antibody from the lysate of HEK293T cells transiently expressing FLAG-tagged wild-type (WT) and deletion mutants of CSDE1. The immunoprecipitates were run on the SDS–PAGE gel and the proteins indicated were probed. β-actin was used as a loading control. The data are representative of four independent experiments. Migration of the molecular weight marker is indicated (kD). The star (*) denotes nonspecific band.

(A) Top: relative miRNA levels of miR-20a-5p in total RNA and IPed RNA of AGO2 immunoprecipitation from P19 stem cell lysate. Trizol extraction method was used to isolate both the RNAs and RT-qPCR were used to quantify the miRNA levels. Bottom: Western blot confirming the knockdown of CSDE1 and efficiency of AGO2 immunoprecipitation. β-actin was used as a loading control. The data are presented as mean ± SEM (n.s. P > 0.05 from three independent experiments; two tailed t test). (B) Immunoprecipitation of CSDE1 was performed using anti-CSDE1 antibody with 2–4 mg of protein extracts prepared from HEK293T cells while IgG was used as a control. The immunoprecipitates were run on the SDS–PAGE gel and probed for the indicated proteins. * denotes the band for AGO2 protein. (C) miRNA pull-down (PD) using 2′-O-methyl–biotinylated oligonucleotides complementary to miR-20a-5p and immunoprecipitation of AGO2 using anti-AGO2 antibody were performed from the lysate of P19 stem cells under Control (siCtrl) and CSDE1 knockdown (siCSDE1) conditions.
