Figure 2. KLF15 represses and binds MYOCD and MRTF-A and –B.

Figure 2

(a) schematic overview of MYOCD, MRTF-A and MRTF-B. All the proteins share a SRF binding and a (potential) KLF15 binding domain. (b) KLF15 represses MRTF-A and MRTF-B mediated activation of the SRF responsive −505 Sm22 luciferase reporter. (c) KLF15 represses MRTF-A and MRTF-B mediated activation of the SRF responsive −638 ANF luciferase reporter. (d) A GST-pulldown assay using in vitro translated 35S labeled MRTF-A and MRTF-B and GST-fused KLF15 shows a direct interaction between KLF15 and MRTF-A and –B. (e) GST pulldown assays using 35S labeled SRF and GST fused KLF15 shows no interaction between KLF15 and SRF. (f) KLF binding site (CACCC) in the −505 Sm22 reporter. This bindingsite is mutated to a TGTTT site. (g) deletion of the KLF binding site in the −505 Sm22 reporter does not affect the repressive effect of KLF15.
