  1. By the capacity of the HB-19/Btn to bind surface nucleolin, the 500-kDa complex was recovered from the cell surface and purified using avidin-agarose. After analysis by SDS-PAGE, several protein bands of 90-, 85-, 80-, 72-, 68-, 32, and 25-kDa were processed for NH2-terminal microsequencing (Methods; Additioal file 2, Figure 2S). These protein bands were identified as Wnt related proteins, Ku80, SRP68, SRP72, p32/p33/HABP1/gC1q-R, and ribosomal proteins S4 and S6.
  2. 1 The obtained NH2-terminal sequence.
  3. 2 The NH2-terminal sequence in the Medline.
  4. 3 The obtained MHRPFXX sequence shares homology to the N-terminal sequence of human Wnt-7b (MHRNFR) [87].
  5. 4 The obtained MRPMTQIIVQD sequence is homologous in its first 5 amino acid residues with the N-terminal sequence (MRPMTFIVGLK) of Wnt-1 of the Mexican axolotls Ambystoma mexicanum [88]. Consequently, the isolated protein appears to correspond to a human Wnt-related protein that remains to be described.
  6. 5 The 80-kDa subunit of the Ku autoantigen [89]
  7. 6 The 68- and 72-kDa subunit of the signal recognition particle [60].
  8. 7 Referred in the literature as the protein p32 associated with the splicing factor SF2, the hyaluronan binding protein 1 (HABP1) and the receptor for complement component C1q (gC1q-R)[90].
  9. 8 Ribosomal proteins S4 and S6 [91].
