(A) Western blotting analysis for Yap, p-Yap (at Ser127), or Amot in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of HEK293 cells transfected with Amot shRNAs (sh-Amot), a shRNA vector control (Ctrl), Amot-p80, or Amot-p130. Tubulin was used as the cytoplasmic marker and lamin A/C as the nuclear marker. (B) Western blotting analysis of Amotflox MEFs treated with Adeno (−) or Adeno-Cre (+) virus using Amot, p-Yap, and Yap antibodies as indicated. “1” and “2” represent MEFs from two independent embryos. (C) Immunoprecipitation (IP) with the V5-tag antibody and Western blotting analysis to assess the Yap-Lats1 interaction in HEK293 cells cotransfected with V5-Yap and Myc-Lats1 in the presence of vector control, Flag-Amot-p130, or Amot shRNAs. Western blotting data in (A) and (C) are representative of three independent experiments.
