SMAD2/3 interactome in human pluripotent stem cells

This experiment was designed to determine the interactome of SMAD2/3 in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). hPSCs were cultured in standard pluripotency-promoting conditions, or induced to differentiate towards the definitive endoderm lineage for 36h. Endogenous SMAD2/3 was immunoprecipitated from nuclear extracts in these two conditions using a specific antibody. Non-immune IgG immunoprecipitations were performed as negative controls. Three biological replicates per conditions were analyzed by quantitative label-free mass spectrometry.
