GST pull-down assay for determination of SMYD1-SRF interaction. (A) The GST control protein, GST-SRF and its deletion mutants were incubated with SMYD1 protein that was produced by in vitro translation in the presence of [35S] methionine. Bound proteins were analyzed by autoradiography. (B) GST control protein, GST-SMYD1-C, GST-SMYD1-N and GST-Nkx2.5-H (positive control) were incubated with SRF protein, produced by in vitro translation in the presence of [35S] methionine. Bound proteins were analyzed by autoradiography. (C) SMYD1 protein that was produced by in vitro translation in the presence of [35S] methionine. SRF protein, which was produced by in vitro translation in the absence of [35S] methionine. The Co-IP experiment was carried out as described in the Materials and Methods section. Anti-HA antibody (negative control) and anti-SRF antibody were used for IP, and the immunoprecipitates were examined by autoradiography. The results represent the averages ± mean from three independent experiments.
