Figure 8. ZFYVE27 a novel member of FYVE family, which show binding affinity towards PtdIns3P.

Figure 8

(A) Alignment of the FYVE domain of ZFYVE27 (ZFY27) with other FYVE family proteins; EEA1, ZFYVE9 (ZFYV9), HGS/HRS and yeast FAB1, PEP7, VPS27. The red boxes are highlighting the conserved WXXD motif (1), R(R/K)HHCR motif (2) and RVC motif (3). The conserved cysteine residues which co-ordinates the zinc ion binding were marked with asterisks. (B) The liposomal binding assay shows specific binding of c-Myc-ZFYVE27WT to the PolyPIPosomes consisting of PtdIns3P. As a positive control, we also detected the binding of endogenous EEA1 to the PolyPIPosomes. (C) The recombinant GST-ZFYVE27300-404 protein also showed binding affinity to PtdIns3P. As a negative control, GST (alone) protein was used in the liposomal binding assay.
