Identification of a RhoA-binding motif within the BCH domain of p50RhoGAP. (A) Multiple sequence alignments of BCH domains from Homo sapiens BNIP-Sα (AY078983) and p50RhoGAP/Cdc42GAP (Q07960) using ClustalW and formatted using BOXSHADE. Identical residues are shaded black whereas similar or conserved ones are in gray. The region corresponding to the previously described Rho-binding motif in BNIP-Sα (Zhou et al., 2006) was underlined. (B) Schematic diagram of NBCH domain and its mutants. (C) Cells were cotransfected with HA-tagged RhoA and FLAG-tagged NBCH wild type or mutants as depicted in Figure 6B. Lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) with anti-FLAG beads, and the associated proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE, blotted, and probed with HA antibody. Expression of FLAG-NBCH constructs and HA- RhoA were verified by Western blot analyses of the whole cell lysates (WCL) using anti-FLAG (third panel) and anti-HA (bottom panel), respectively. The bound RhoA was detected by anti-HA (top panel), and equal loading of IP beads were verified by anti-FLAG (second panel).
