Figure Lengend Snippet: FKBP51 interacts with the general transcriptional co-activator p300. ( a , left) FKBP51 co-immunoprecipitates with p300. ( a , right), p300 co-immunoprecipitates with FKBP51. Total-cell lysates were prepared by SAN melanoma cells transfected with FKBP51/Flag. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Kat3B/p300 (IP p300) or anti-Flag (IP FKBP51). Immunoprecipitated and total lysates were then subjected to western blot with anti-FKBP51 or anti-p300. ( b ) ChIP performed with SAN melanoma cells, silenced (FKBP51 siRNA) or not (NS RNA) for FKBP51. An enrichment of DNA (region at −3450 from TSS of ABCG2 gene) can be observed in p300-immunoprecipitated chromatin (NS RNA) compared with IgG sample. Such an enrichment appeared to be reduced when FKBP51 was silenced (FKBP51 siRNA)

Article Snippet: The p300- immunoprecipitated chromatin was obtained using KAT3B/p300 Antibody (RW109) (Novus Biologicals).

Techniques: Transfection, Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot
