Identification of a WC-1 LXXLL motif involved in the association with HAT. (A) Schematic representation of a generic nuclear receptor (NR) and WC-1 structural organization, evidencing architectural and functional similarities. (B) Multialignment of the regions containing the LXXLL motifs within Neurospora WC-1 and several WC-1–like proteins present in the National Center for Biotechnology Information databank (LLDLL and LAQLL, indicated by a dashed line). Consensus analysis reveals conservation only for the LXXLL motif present at position 1008–1012 in Neurospora WC-1. Organisms and protein accession numbers: Cryptococcus neoformans, XP_567995.1; Cryptococcus gattii, XP_003193431.1; Neurospora crassa, CAA63964; Sordaria macrospora, XP_003351224.1; Podospora anserina, CAD60767; Verticillium albo-atrum, XP_003001986.1; Colletotrichum higginsianum, CCF31796.1; Glomerella graminicola, EFQ30482.1; Nectria haematococca, XP_003040715.1; Fusarium oxysporum, ABY47609; Gibberella fujikuroi, CAO85915; Gibberella zae, XP_388117; Hypocrea jecorina, AAV80185; Trichoderma atroviride, AAU14171.1; Metarhizium anisopliae, EFY99524.1; Metarhizium acridum, EFY92414; Magnaporthe oryzae, XP_360995.2; Thielavia terrestris, XP_003654033; Chaetomium globosum XP_001219613; Myceliophthora thermophila, XP_003665493.1; Botryotinia fuckeliana, XP_001547999.1; Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, XP_001586924.1; Cercospora zeae-maydis, AEH41590.1; Mycosphaerella graminicola, EGP83257.1; Phaeosphaeria avenaria, ACS74812.1; Cochliobolus miyabeanus, BAF35570.1; Leptosphaeria maculans, CBX98033.1; Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, XP_001933567.1; Tuber borchii, CAE01390.1; M., Tuber melanosporum, CAZ83744.1; Aspergillus niger, XP_001395039.1; Aspergillus nidulans, XP_661040.1. (C) Schematic representation of the domains in the two WC-1 mini versions and WT and point mutation mutant (Mut LXXAA) used in the pull-down experiments. The LAQLL mutagenized version is changed in LAQAA. (D) Recombinant proteins (C) were used in pull-down assays to evaluate their interaction with a radiolabeled Sc-Gcn5p. A representative Coomassie-stained gel and its autoradiography are shown (top). Quantification of the relative amount of 35S-ScGcn5p retained by the two recombinant products. The signal corresponding to WC-1 mini/ScGcn5p interaction was set to 100% (bottom). The data are the mean ± SEM from three independent experiments.
