"The GST pulldown assay demonstrated that VCPIP1 bound to HBx directly ( xref ) in vitro ."

"The HBx C-terminal sequence, spanning aa 121 to 154, predominated in the HBx-VCPIP1 binding, as seen in the colony abolishment in the yeast two-hybrid assay with pGBKT7-HBxΔ121–154, which lacked the sequences ( xref )."

sparser
"These results demonstrate that the interaction between HBx and VCPIP1 may increase HBx stability."

sparser
"Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay using cell lysates demonstrated the association of HBx with both endogenously and exogenously expressed VCPIP1 ( xref Fig. S1), while co-IP using in vitro -translated proteins confirmed a direct binding between HBx and VCPIP1 ( xref )."

sparser
"We, therefore, tested whether these domains were involved in VCPIP1-HBx binding."

sparser
"The mutual interactions between VCPIP1 and HBx ( xref ), HBx and PSMC3 ( xref ), and PSMC3 and VCPIP1 ( xref ) were identified."

sparser
"Combined with the earlier results demonstrating that HBx aa 121 to 154 and VCPIP1 aa 863 to 1221 were required for VCPIP1-HBx interaction ( xref and xref ), we narrowed down the sequence for interacting with HBx to VCPIP1 C-terminal aa 863 to 982 ( xref )."

sparser
"First, we reported that VCPIP1 bound directly to HBx through its C-terminal aa 863 to 1221, and the interacting sequences were sufficient for HBx stability even in the absence of its N-terminal enzymatic activity."

sparser
"Furthermore, VCPIP1-HBx interaction appears to facilitate HBx protein to exert its pleiotropic effects including canonical transactivational activity and cell proliferation inhibition, suggesting its potential role in the pathogenesis of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma."

"Functionally, HBx specifically binding to VCPIP1 significantly enhanced the transcriptional transactivation of HBx by activating NF-kappaB, AP-1, and SP-1 and inhibited hepatoma cell clonogenicity in Huh7 and HepG2 cells."

reach
"The direct binding between VCPIP1 and HBx was verified by an in vitro glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown assay, and their physical interaction was validated by an in vivo coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay and confocal microscopy assay."

reach
"These results demonstrate that the interaction between HBx and VCPIP1 may increase HBx stability."

reach
"The mutual interactions between VCPIP1 and HBx (Fig. 1), HBx and PSMC3 (Fig. 5A), and PSMC3 and VCPIP1 (Fig. 5B) were identified."

"First, we reported that VCPIP1 bound directly to HBx through its C-terminal aa 863 to 1221, and the interacting sequences were sufficient for HBx stability even in the absence of its N-terminal enzymatic activity."

reach
"Here, we found that VCPIP1 associated with proteasomal subunits and with HBx and prevented HBx degradation."

reach
"In addition, the deubiquitinating enzyme VCPIP1 binds to HBx protein and promotes stabilization of HBx in a ubiquitin-independent manner by recruiting the PSMC3 in vivo [30]."

"In addition, the deubiquitinating enzyme VCPIP1 binds to HBx protein and promotes stabilization of HBx in a ubiquitin-independent manner by recruiting the PSMC3 in vivo [ xref ]."

"Functionally, HBx specifically binding to VCPIP1 significantly enhanced the transcriptional transactivation of HBx by activating NF-κB, AP-1, and SP-1 and inhibited hepatoma cell clonogenicity in Huh7 and HepG2 cells."

reach
"We characterized the binding between VCPIP1 and HBx and noted the stabilizing effect of such binding on HBx protein, which was recently reported by another group (17)."

reach
"Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay using cell lysates demonstrated the association of HBx with both endogenously and exogenously expressed VCPIP1 (Fig. 1C Fig. S1), while co-IP using in vitro-translated proteins confirmed a direct binding between HBx and VCPIP1 (Fig. 1D)."

reach
"In addition to the binding between VCPIP1 and HBx, an unexpected and interesting observation was also made from the co-IP results: overexpression of VCPIP1 was associated with apparently higher expression of HBx protein in the input samples (Fig. 1C, right and Fig. S1B)."

reach
"Regarding VCPIP1, Wu et al. used co-IP and two-hybrid assay in yeast cells and mapped HBx-binding to VCPIP1’s C-terminal region downstream of Ubl domain (17)."
