Fig. 4. Differentiation-dependent and subunit-dependent interaction of plectin with AMPK. (A,B) Lysates prepared from wild-type (+/+) and plectin deficient (-/-) undifferentiated myoblasts (A), or differentiated (6 days) myotubes (B) were incubated with antiserum #46 to plectin (IP), or without antibodies (C) for 3 hours. Immunocomplexes formed were isolated using protein G beads, separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and subjected to immunoblotting using antiserum to plectin, a 1:1 mixture of antibodies to the
1 and
2 subunits of AMPK (total AMPK), or antibodies recognising AMPK
1 or
2 subunits individually. AMPK
1 was co-precipitated with plectin only from lysates prepared from differentiated myotubes; AMPK
2 did not co-precipitate with plectin at any stage. (C) Lysates prepared from myotubes as in B were incubated with antibodies to AMPK
1 or
2 and immunoprecipitates were analysed by immunoblotting using the antibodies indicated. Lys, immunoblots of lysates.
