Figure 1.
Immunoblot analysis of zyxin-null fibroblasts. (A) Domains of zyxin include the α-actinin binding site, four ActA Ena/VASP binding repeats, two nuclear export signals (NES), and three LIM domains. Sites of epitopes for zyxin-specific antibodies 1D1 (zyxin aa 29–47) and B71 (zyxin aa 336–355) are identified by an asterisk. (B) Cell lysates of wild-type (+/+) and zyxin-null (−/−) fibroblasts were electrophoresed (10% SDS-PAGE) and either stained to confirm equal protein loading (Coomassie blue) or transferred to nitrocellulose for immunoblot analysis with anti-zyxin aa 29–47 (1D1) and anti-zyxin aa 336–355 (B71). (C–E) Immunoblot analysis of wild-type and zyxin−/− cells for expression of zyxin family members (C), zyxin-binding partners (D), and other focal adhesion proteins (E).
