Fig. 4. Pulse-chase analysis of transfected cells expressing control and mutant αIIbβ3 receptors. / Cells were cotransfected with cDNA constructs expressing control or mutant (Val298Phe and Ile374Thr) αIIb and control β3 subunits for 36 hours. Following preincubation in methionine/cysteine-free medium, cells were labeled with 35S-methionine/cysteine (300 μCi/well [11.1 MBq]) containing medium for 15 minutes and chased in medium containing methionine and cysteine (1 mg/mL each). Cells were harvested at the indicated time points. Using equivalent TCA precipitable counts (about 1.5 × 106 counts/sample), cell lysates were immunoprecipitated using a combination of αIIb-specific mAbs, B1B53031 and M-148 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 4 μg each/sample) that recognize pro-αIIb and mature αIIb subunits. Samples were electrophoresed under reduced conditions and dried gels were exposed to film. Bands representing pro-αIIb, mature αIIb, and β3 are shown by arrows.
