Fig. 4. DENND5A interacts with polarity proteins MUPP1 and PALS1.
a A recombinant GST-tagged peptide containing amino acids 700-720 of human DENND5A sequence was generated for use in pulldown experiments. The bolded residue corresponds to Arg710 that is affected in the cohort (R710H). b Table indicating the number of peptides corresponding to MUPP1 and PALS1 found bound to each GST fusion peptide used in the pulldown/mass spectrometry experiment. c Overexpressed human MUPP1- and PALS1-FLAG bind to GST-tagged DENND5A peptides. Results were reproduced in 3 independent experiments. d Residues 700–720 are shown in red in a space-fill model (left) and magnified view (right) of the predicted DENND5A protein structure from AlphaFold. Dotted lines indicate hydrogen bonds. e The interface between the DENN and RUN1 domains of DENND5A comprises many charged residues. f GST pulldown experiments show that FLAG-DENN and GST-RUN1/PLAT physically interact. g Co-immunoprecipitations between GFP-DENND5A and MUPP1- and PALS1-FLAG show that DENND5A only binds the polarity proteins when the intramolecular DENN-RUN1 interaction is disrupted. Source data for (b, c) and (f, g) are provided as a Source Data file.
