Human N-Myc Interactor (Nmi), an interferon (IFN)-induced protein, participates in downstream JAK-STAT pathway and inhibits proliferation of cancer cells.Nmi can bind Interferon-Induced Protein 35 (IFP35) and protect the latter from degradation.Previous research showed that these two proteins associated through their C-terminal domains.In this study, we constructed full length clones and N-terminal truncates of both Nmi and IFP35.Co-expression and GST pull down experiments showed that N-terminal domains of Nmi and IFP 35 are respectively sufficient for their association.We overexpressed and purified recombinant protein complexes afterward.Through immune fluorescence, we found that Nmi and IFP35 co-localized in nucleus in RAW264.7 cells.We also noticed that Nmi localized in nucleus and enriched on surface in normal 293A cells.Although Nmi granularly aggregated in cytoplasm after 24 h induction by interferon as reported, it came back to nucleolus by adding low concentration hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).That result indicated that subcellular localization of Nmi can be affected by the oxidation environment of cells.
