Figure 4. The cue domain of gp78 interacts with the HEAT 2 & 3 repeats of htt.

Figure 4

A. The cue domain of gp78 is responsible for its interaction with htt. Left: Diagram shows GST-gp78c and its truncation mutants used in pull down assay. Right: GST-gp78c and its truncation mutants were incubated with HEK293 cell lysates expressing Nhtt17Q. The Nhtt17Q associated with GST-gp78 was detected with anti-FLAG antibody. GST fusion proteins were stained by ponceau s red. B. The cue domain of gp78 interacts with a region containing the HEAT 2&3 repeats of htt. HEK293 cell lysates expressing various Nhtt truncation mutants containing 17Q were subjected to GST pull down experiment with GST-gp78c and its mutants. Nhtt mutants were detected by immunoblotting. C. Direct interaction of the cue domain of gp78 and the HEAT 2&3 repeats. Recombinant 6His-tagged HEAT 2&3 protein was incubated with GST, GST-cue domain or a GST-Cue domain mutant (Cue-m, see Figure 5A for detailed amino acid changes). Binding of HEAT 2&3 was detected by immunoblotting for 6-His. GST and its fusion proteins were stained by ponceau s red.
