    Assessment of RIC3 antibodies by Western blot. ( A ) Anti-DDK shows RIC3 expression efficiency following cell transfections. DDK–tagged RIC3s showed as single bands around 40 kD with considerable differences among different species. Rat RIC3 was not tagged with DDK. ( B ) Thermo-Fisher anti-hRIC3 PA5-64196 (1:1000) recognizes both splice variants of human and mouse RIC3 (with multiple bands) and weakly stains rat RIC3, but not Xenopus. ( C ) Alomone Laboratories anti-RIC3 antibody <t>(ANC-020,</t> 1:1000) showed a similar but weaker pattern and recognized both splice variants of human and mouse RIC3 (with additional bands) and weakly rat RIC3. A high MW (~100 kD) band is non-specific due to its presence in the control. Numbers in parentheses refer to the amount of protein added to each well to account for differences in protein expression between transfections.

    ( A ) Autoradiographic comparison of 125 I-αBGT binding between wild type and KO animal brain slices. Top row shows total binding for wild type (left), tmem35a KO (middle) and ric3 KO (right) brain sections. The bottom row shows corresponding non-specific binding. There was no specific binding in tmem35a KO, and significant loss of binding in specific brain structures in the ric3 KO brains (arrows). ( B ) Autoradiographic analysis of 125 I-αBGT binding using ImageJ. Significant loss of toxin binding was observed in the hippocampus and cortex of the ric3 KO compared to the corresponding structures in wild type (WT) animals (Specific binding is the difference between total binding and non-specific [NS] binding). The insets show typical sections and the areas used for analysis over two sections per condition (N = 8 areas per brain region, with a medial and lateral area for each brain side times two sections). This analysis was done on one experiment comparing one animal per condition since the two experiments performed so far were done using different batches of 125 I-αBGT with different specific activities and slightly different exposure times and are not easily comparable. Error bars represent standard deviations. *** p > 0.001, (** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05) by single factor ANOVA.

    Techniques: Binding Assay

    The absence of NACHO in HEK cells has no effect on the ability of RIC3 to promote surface human α7nAChR expression, and the effects of the two chaperones are synergistic when expressed together. Binding assays in 24-well plates were performed as indicated in methods. Total cDNA in transfections was constant, with h chrna7 DNA (0.15 μg/well) that was equaled the sum of htmem35a and hric3 cDNA or RFP DNA (0.15 μg/well RFP DNA in transfection controls). The ratio of 3 parts h tmem35a cDNA to 1 part h ric3 cDNA (e.g., 0.11 µg h tmem35a and 0.04 µg h ric3 /well) produced the highest surface α7nAChR expression in HEK cells. In all 4 experiments, the combined effects were more than additive. In experiments where RIC3 or NACHO was the only chaperone, surface α7nAChR expression was comparable between these two chaperones as shown.

Binding assays in 24-well plates were performed as indicated in methods. Total cDNA in transfections was constant, with h chrna7 DNA (0.15 μg/well) that was equaled the sum of htmem35a and hric3 cDNA or RFP DNA (0.15 μg/well RFP DNA in transfection controls). The ratio of 3 parts h tmem35a cDNA to 1 part h ric3 cDNA (e.g., 0.11 µg h tmem35a and 0.04 µg h ric3 /well) produced the highest surface α7nAChR expression in HEK cells. In all 4 experiments, the combined effects were more than additive. In experiments where RIC3 or NACHO was the only chaperone, surface α7nAChR expression was comparable between these two chaperones as shown.
