Nonphosphorylation mutants of CtBP2 interact with CCNH/CDK7.
A and B, HEK 293T cells were cotransfected with FLAG-CtBP2(S164A) or FLAG-CtBP2(S428A), together with GFP-CCNH (A) or GFP-CDK7 (B) expression vectors, as indicated. Proteins were precipitated (IP) with anti-GFP-agarose and analyzed by Western blotting with FLAG antibody. C and D, mimic phosphorylation of CtBP2 disrupts its interaction with CCNH/CDK7. HEK293T cells were cotransfected with FLAG-CtBP2(S164D) or FLAG-CtBP2(S428D), together with GFP-CCNH (C) or GFP-CDK7 (D) expression vectors, as indicated. Proteins were precipitated with anti-GFP-agarose and analyzed by Western blotting with FLAG antibody.
