Identifying new interactors of NGN3 through IP-MS

NGN3 is a transcription factor whose transient expression during pancreatic development is vital for the generation of endocrine pancreatic cells, including beta cells. NGN3 stabilisation has been shown to induce exocrine-to-endocrine cell plasticity in the murine pancreas, making it a viable target for therapies aiming to replenish beta cells after immune-mediated destruction in type 1 diabetes patients. Here, we set out to identify new interactors of NGN3 that could play a role in its post-translational regulation. We transfected HEK293A cells with HA-tagged NGN3 and carried out immunoprecipitation of the HA-tag, followed by analysis of co-immunoprecipitated interactors via LC-MS/MS.
