FIGURE 5:

The interaction of vinculin and paxillin is enhanced in the presence of lasp-2 and diminished in the presence of lasp-1. Vinculin and paxillin are known binding partners, and the presence of GFP–lasp-2 enhances the amount of paxillin protein that is coimmunoprecipitated with vinculin in HEK 293 lysates when compared with controls. Endogenous vinculin was immunoprecipitated from cell lysates expressing GFP-paxillin and GFP, GFP–lasp-2, Cherry-lasp-1, or GFP–lasp-2 and Cherry–lasp-1 together. GFP-paxillin is more robustly coimmunoprecipitated in lysates with GFP–lasp-2. This enhancement is not detectable when lasp-2 is lost from the complex as a result of Cherry–lasp-1 expression.
