Bnip-2 and Cdo regulate Cdc42 activity. (A) GTP-bound Cdc42 (Cdc42*) in C2C12 cells proliferating in GM (G) or cultured for 48 h in DM (D) was pulled down from cell lysates with GST-PAK-1 PBD beads and Western blotted with Cdc42 antibodies (top). Total levels of Cdc42 were determined by blotting straight lysates with Cdc42 antibodies (bottom). (B) Levels of GTP-bound and total Cdc42 in C2C12/Bnip-2 (+) or vector control (−) cells in GM or DM were assessed as described in A. (C) Levels of GTP-bound and total Cdc42 in C2C12 cells that express Bnip-2 siRNA (+) or an irrelevant sequence (−) in GM or DM were assessed as described in A. (D) Lysates of C2C12 cells cultured in GM to ∼80% confluence and then transferred to DM for the indicated times were immunoprecipitated with Cdo antibodies and then Western blotted with Cdc42 or Cdo antibodies. (E) Levels of GTP-bound and total Cdc42 in C2C12 cells that express Cdo siRNA (+) or an irrelevant sequence (−) in GM or DM were assessed as described in A. The arrowhead indicates a nonspecific band. (F) Levels of GTP-bound and total Cdc42 in myoblasts of the indicated Cdo genotype cultured in GM or DM assessed as described in A.
