EWI-2 Is a Major CD9 and CD81 Partner and Member of a Novel Ig Protein Subfamily
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
A novel Ig superfamily protein, EWI-2, was co-purified with tetraspanin protein CD81 under relatively stringent Brij 96 detergent conditions and identified by mass spectrometric protein sequencing. EWI-2 associated specifically with CD9 and CD81 but not with other tetraspanins or with integrins. Immunodepletion experiments indicated that EWI-2-CD9/CD81 interactions are highly stoichiometric, with approximately...
