TREX-2 interaction with ORC. (A) Drosophila embryonic nuclear extract treated with DNase and RNase was immunoprecipitated with affinity purified polyclonal antibodies against TREX-2 or ORC components (indicated on the top) or rabbit Immunoglobulin G (IgG) coupled to protein A-Sepharose beads. Equivalent amounts of the input fraction, and of proteins bound to the immunosorbent (IP) were resolved by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by western blotting with the aforementioned antibodies. Asterisks indicate antibody chains. (B) The recombinant TREX-2 and ORC subunits interact with each other. HA-tagged Xmas-2, PCID2 and ENY2 were co-expressed in S2 cells together with FLAG-tagged ORC subunits, and their interaction was verified in co-immunoprecipitation experiments with antibodies against FLAG or HA epitopes. Asterisk indicates antibody chains. (C) TREX-2 and ORC interact during Drosophila development. Males hemizygous for the e(y)2u1 mutation of ENY2 and heterozygous for orc31 or Orc52 mutations (e(y)2u1/Y; orc31/+ or e(y)2u1/Y; Orc52/+) have a decreased viability and an increased frequency of abnormal tergites, comparatively to the control (e(y)2u1/Y;+/+). Flies homozygous for the P{EP}PCID2[G18683] mutation and heterozygous for orc31 or Orc52 mutations P{EP}PCID2[G18683]/P{EP}PCID2[G18683];orc31/+ or P{EP}PCID2[G18683]/P{EP}PCID2[G18683];Orc52/+ have decreased viability, comparatively to the control (P{EP}PCID2[G18683]/P{EP}PCID2[G18683];+/+).
