Modification of the cytoplasmic tails of the integrin α IIb β 3 plays an important role in the
signal transduction in platelets. We searched for proteins that bind to the α IIb cytoplasmic
tail using the yeast two-hybrid assay with a cDNA library of the megakaryocyte-derived cell
line and identified a protein, ancient ubiquitous protein 1 (Aup1), that is ubiquitously
expressed in human cells. Observation of UT7/TPO cells expressing a red fluorescent
protein-tagged Aup1 indicated its localization in the cytoplasm. Immunoprecipitation of …
