This study investigates the interaction of Tetraspanins CD9, Tspan12, and Tspan14 with ADAM10 to understand their role in promoting ADAM10 maturation. GFP-tagged mouse Tetraspanins were used in co-immunoprecipitation experiments, revealing different capacities to promote ADAM10 maturation. The results provide insights into the complex regulatory mechanisms of ADAM10 processing in cells.

The experiment was performed and presented as described in Figure 2A-C, with the exception that GFP-tagged mouse tetraspanins were used instead of FLAG-tagged tetraspanins. The GFP-tagged mouse forms of non-TspanC8 tetraspanins CD9 and Tspan12 were compared to Tspan14 in their capacity to (A) co-immunoprecipitate with, and (B) promote maturation of, bovine HA-tagged ADAM10 (n=5; **p<0.01 compared to all other data; error bars represent standard errors of the mean). The GFP immunoprecipitation was performed with GFP-Trap beads and confirmation of similar Tspan12 and Tspan14 expression was obtained by (C) anti-GFP western blotting.
