An evolutionarily conserved, phosphorylation-dependent interaction between Slx4 and Dpb11/TopBP1. (A) Schematic diagram of Dpb11 domain structure depicted with its interaction partners in replication initiation and DNA damage checkpoint. (B) Slx4 binds to the BRCT3+4 domain of Dpb11. Two-hybrid analysis of GAL4-BD fused to full-length Dpb11 or to BRCT1+2 and BRCT3+4 fragments and of GAL4-AD fusions with Slx4, Rad9, and Ddc1. (C) The Slx4–Dpb11 interaction is reduced by mutation of Slx4 Ser486 and is regulated by DNA damage. Coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous Dpb11 with Slx43Flag or phosphorylation-deficient Slx4-S486A3Flag from undamaged cells or cells treated for 30 min with 0.033% MMS. (D) Human TopBP1 and Slx4 interact dependent on Thr1260 of Slx4. Coimmunoprecipitation of human mycTopBP1 with GFPSlx4 or N-terminally truncated GFPSlx4ΔN after transient overexpression in HEK293T cells. Slx4 or Slx4ΔN was expressed either as wild type (WT) or a T1260A phosphorylation-deficient variant.
