Co-localization

Interaction inferred from two proteins that co-localize in the cell by indirect immunofluorescence only when in addition, if one gene is deleted, the other protein becomes mis-localized. Also includes co-dependent association of proteins with promoter DNA in chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments.

The germinal center (GC) reaction plays an important role in generating humoral immunity and is believed to give rise to most B-cell lymphomas. GC entry and exit are tightly regulated processes, controlled by the actions of transcription factors such as BCL6. Herein, we demonstrate that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), a symmetric dimethyl arginine methyltransferase, is also necessary for GC ... [more]

  • Low Throughput

Additional Notes

  • assayed using ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) which demonstrated that association of the hit proteins with BCL6 target genes was decreased by the use of PRMT5 inhibitor
