Figure 5. Molecular requirements of the 78aa SSX peptide for BAF47 subunit ejection from mSWI/SNF-like BAF complexes.

Figure 5

(A) Left, Immunoblot analysis for BAF47 and Brg on anti-Brg IPs (Top) of 293T cells transfected with various SS18/SS18-SSX constructs (Bottom). Right, quantitative densitometry depicting BAF47/Brg protein ratios in IP studies.

(B) Sox2 mRNA levels in human fibroblasts day 15 post-infection with LV containing SS18 and SS18-SSX variants. Error bars= s.d.

(C) Hydrophobicity determination using Kyte-Doolittle algorithm for 78 C-terminal amino acids (aa) of SSX1-SSX4 proteins. Region of significant difference highlighted in yellow.

(D) Peptide alignment of SSX1- SSX5 C-terminal 78 aa. Pink arrows indicate aa of significant difference between SSX1/2/4 and SSX3 or SSX1/2/4 and SSX5; yellow highlight indicates regions determined to be critical for BAF47 ejection.

(E) Immunoblot analysis for BAF47 and Brg on anti-GFP IPs of 293T cells transfected with constructs as per above as well as SS18-SSX3; and (F) with SS18-SSX1, SS18-SSX1Δaa43,44 (KR→MI), SS18-SSX3, SS18-SSX3Δaa43,44 (MI→KR). See also Figure S5A.

(G) Quantitative densitometry depicting BAF47/Brg protein ratios in IP studies. Error bars= s.d. (H) Sox2 mRNA levels in human fibroblasts day 15 post-infection with LV containing various constructs. See also Figure S5B. Error bars=s.d.
