Physical interaction between TRF1 and LRIM. A, analysis of
the physical interaction between TRF1 and RLIM using the yeast two-hybrid
assay. PinX1, RAP1, and unrelated FKBP52 were used as the TRF1-binding,
TRF2-binding, and negative control, respectively. The growth on the SG-HWUL
plate and the blue signal on the SG-HWU/X plate indicate activation
of the reporter genes, LacZ and LEU2, respectively.
S, synthetic; G, galactose; H, histidine (-);
W, tryptophan (-); U, uracil, (-); L, leucine (-);
X, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-d-galactopyranoside
(X-gal). B, H1299 cells were transfected with V5-RLIM or
V5-RLIMH590,593E and either untreated or treated with 10
μm MG132 for 4 h. Cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting
with anti-V5 antibody probe. C, interaction between TRF1 and RLIM
in vitro. Left, GST and GST-TRF1 were immobilized on
glutathione-Sepharose and incubated with exogenously expressed RLIM-V5 and
PinX1-V5. After washing and SDS-PAGE, bound RLIM and PinX1 were detected by
immunoblotting with anti-V5 antibody. Right, GST, GST-RLIM, and
GST-PinX1 were incubated with exogenously expressed FLAG-TRF1 followed by
immunoblotting with anti-FLAG antibody. D, coimmunoprecipitation of
TRF1 and RLIM. Left, H1299 cells were transfected with FLAG-TRF1 or
FLAG-TRF2 and then subjected to immunoprecipitation as indicated followed by
immunoblotting with anti-RLIM antibody. Right, H1299 cells were
subjected to immunoprecipitation with either anti-TRF1 or -TRF2 antibodies
followed by immunoblotting with anti-RLIM antibody. E, H1299 cells
were treated with 10 μm MG132 for 4 h and analyzed by indirect
immunofluorescence. Paraformaldehyde-fixed cells were stained with anti-TRF1
(red) and anti-RLIM antibodies (green). DNA was stained with
4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (blue).
