Figure 2. vBcl-2 Interaction with Beclin1.

Figure 2

(A) Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of Beclin1 with WT or mutant vBcl-2. 293T cells were transiently transfected with the indicated constructs, followed by immunoprecipitation of HA-tagged vBcl-2 and immunoblotting of V5-tagged Beclin1. (B) Co-IP of WT or mutant vBcl-2 with endogenous Beclin1. 293T cells were transfected with the indicated vBcl-2 constructs, followed by immunoprecipitation of HA-tagged vBcl-2 and immunoblotting of endogenous Beclin1. 1% whole-cell lysates (WCLs) was used as the input. (C) vBcl-2 interaction with Bak protein. 293T cells were transfected with WT and mutant forms of vBcl-2 as indicated. At 48 h posttransfection, WCLs were mixed either with GST-BakΔTM fusion protein (left panel) or with GST alone (right panel) for an in vitro GST pull-down (GST PD) assays. GST fusion proteins used for the pulldown assay are indicated (bottom panel). 1% WCL was used as the input. Data are representative of at least three experiments yielding similar results.
