Purification of the Prep1 interactome identifies novel pathways regulated by Prep1

Proteomics. 2007 Aug;7(15):2617-23. doi: 10.1002/pmic.200700197.

Abstract

Prep1 homeodomain transcription factor interacts with Pbx proteins to regulate oculogenesis, angiogenesis, and hematopoiesis in mice. To isolate new Prep1 interactors competing or copurifying with Pbx, we identified proteins copurified with Prep1-TAP by tandem affinity purification (TAP). Prep1-TAP was fully functional and allowed the isolation of a Prep1 proteome from cytoplasm and nucleus, but most interactors were nuclear. The Prep1-TAP complex included Pbx1b, Pbx2, and other nonhomeodomain proteins: p160 Myb-binding protein (p160), beta-actin, NMMHCIIA.
