N-SSDP1 inhibits LIM-HD transcriptional complex in vitro and stabilizes CLIM in vivo. A: Model of transcriptional complexes consisting of LIM-HDs (blue), CLIM (green) and SSDP1 (red) on DNA. LIM domain (LIM); homeodomain (HD); LIM interaction domain (LID); Ldb/Chip conserved domain (LCCD); dimerization domain (dim); N- and C-terminal portions of SSDP1 (N and C, respectively) are indicated. B: N-SSDP1 contains the CLIM interacting domain, but not the proline-rich domain. C-SSDP1 lacks the CLIM interacting domain of SSDP1. C: Overexpression of full-length SSDP1 in alphaT3 cells significantly increases transcriptional activity of LIM-HD factors in these cells whereas GFP-N-SSDP1 decreases it, as indicated by relative levels of the target alphaGSU mRNA measured by RT-qPCR. D: Western Blot analysis of embryos (24 hpf) after over-expression of myc-tagged N-SSDP1 shows increased CLIM protein levels as compared to embryos injected with control mRNA for myc-tagged NLS. E: N-SSDP1 mRNA injection increases CLIM immunofluorescence in embryos, confirming Western Blot results. Lateral views of the trunk region of whole-mounted embryos (24 hpf) are shown. Scale bar = 25 µm.
