Abstract excerpt
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) has diverse biological functions including roles in proteolysis, cell adhesion and cellular signaling. We identified a heat shock protein MRJ (DNAJB6) as a novel uPAR-interacting protein in a yeast two-hybrid screen and confirmed the interaction and co-localization by GST-pull down assays, and co-immunoprecipitation in cells transfected with MRJ. Endogenous...
