PakB-1-180 binds the dAbp1 SH3 domain. (A) dAbp1 consists of an ADF-H domain, a segment rich in glutamine, proline, and alanine (GPA) residues, a highly acidic region, and an SH3 domain. The positions of PxxP motifs are indicated by black rings. (B) Two-hybrid analysis was carried out using a bait vector expressing PakB-1-180 (1–180) and a prey vector expressing the dAbp1 SH3 domain (SH3) and empty bait or prey vectors (EV). The strength of the interaction was assessed quantitatively by liquid culture β-galactosidase assay. (C) Pull-down assays were carried out using the GST-dAbp1-SH3 domain (SH3) or an inactive GST-dAbp1-SH3 domain (P474L mutation; SH3(P/L)) and lysates of cells expressing GFP-PakB-1-180. The whole-cell lysate (WCL) and washed pellets were probed using an anti-GFP antibody. Coomassie blue (CB) was used to visualize the GST-SH3 domains in the pellets. (D) Immunoblot analysis of AX3 cells harvested at different stages of development using an affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody to dAbp1. (E) Coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous dAbp1 and PakB. Immunoprecipitates were prepared from AX3 cell lysates using a control (Ctrl) or anti-dAbp1 antibody. The WCL and washed immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted using anti-PakB and anti-dAbp1 antibodies. Results from two experiments are shown. (F) Immunoprecipitates were prepared from lysates of cells expressing GFP-PakB-1-180 (1–180) using an anti-GFP antibody or a control (Ctrl) antibody. The WCL and washed immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted using antibodies to GFP and dAbp1. (G) Immunoprecipitates were prepared from cells expressing GFP-PakB-1-180 (1–180) or GFP-PakB-1-180ΔP (1-180ΔP) using an anti-dAbp1 or a control (Ctrl) antibody. The WCLs and washed immunoprecipitates were immunoblotted using antibodies to GFP and dAbp1.
