FLRT proteins interact physically with each other. (A) Human embryonic kidney 293T cells were co-transfected with the indicated tagged constructs and 48 h later were collected for a co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP)–western blot analysis. (B) Co-IP of 293T cells transfected with V5-tagged Xenopus FLRT3 and the indicated Renilla luciferase (RL)-tagged constructs. RL activity after co-IP was normalized against total RL activity of the lysates. (C) 293T cells were co-transfected with human FLRT2–RL fusion and the indicated enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP)-tagged constructs and analysed by bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assay. Data are represented as BRET ratio, which is defined as E530/E470(sample)−E530/E470(hFLRT2–RL only). WCL, whole-cell lysate; xBMPRI, Xenopus BMP type I receptor; xFGFR1, Xenopus fibroblast growth factor receptor 1; xFz8, Xenopus Frizzled 8.
