NBA1 serves as an adaptor protein for the BRCA1 A complex. (A) NBA1 and BRE proteins interact with the N terminus of Abra1. Cell lysates from 293T cells stably expressing GFP-tagged mutants of Abra1 were immunoprecipitated with GFP antibodies and immunoblot analysis was carried out with antibodies against NBA1, BRE, or BRCC36. (B) A diagram for Abra1 deletion mutants. (C) NBA1–Rap80 interaction, similar to BRCC36–Rap80 interaction, depends on the AIR domain of Rap80 that is required for Rap80–Abra1 interaction. Cell lysates from 293T cells stably expressing GFP-tagged mutants of Rap80 were immunoprecipitated with GFP antibodies and Western blot was carried out with antibodies against NBA1 or BRCC36. (D) A diagram for Rap80 deletion mutants. (E) NBA1 and BRE interaction with BRCC36 is mediated through Abra1. Cell lysates from 293T cells stably expressing GFP-tagged NBA1 or BRE protein were immunoprecipitated with GFP antibodies and Western blot was carried out with antibodies against Abra1, BRE, or BRCC36. (F) A diagram mapping the regions of Abra1 that interacts with different members of the BRCA1-A complex.
