MH2 domain of Smad3 is required for menin interaction.
(a) Schema of full-length menin and its deletion
mutants, and Smad3 and its deletion mutant. (b)
Structural requirement of menin for the interaction with Smad3.
Myc-Smad3 was transfected into COS7 cells with the indicated menin
deletion mutants. Total cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with
anti-myc antibody followed by SDS/PAGE, immunoblotting, and staining
with antibodies against amino- or carboxyl-terminal menin.
Expression of myc or menin was monitored. (c) Structural
requirement of Smad3 for the interaction with menin. Menin was
transfected into COS7 cells with myc-Smad3 or myc-Smad3ΔC mutant.
Cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with anti- myc antibodies
followed by SDS/PAGE and immunoblotting with anti- menin antibody.
Expression of myc or menin was monitored. W, Western blot; IP,
immunoprecipitation.
