4E-T interacts with UNR, which in turn binds unrip. (A) Cartoon of UNR and unrip proteins, indicating their domains and the C-terminal unrip-binding site in UNR. (B) Anti-FLAG immunoprecipitations were carried out using FLAG-tagged GFP, -UNR, -UNRΔC, -unrip and -DDX6. UNRΔC is a C-terminally truncated version of UNR predicted not to interact with unrip. UT, untransfected cells. (C and D) HEK293T were co-transfected with siRNA against β-globin (control), DDX6, UNR or unrip as indicated, and with FLAG-4E-T, or not transfected (UT). Input and bound samples were analysed by western blot with indicated antibodies. (E) Schematic cartoon of interaction sites of 4E-T-binding proteins. Region A is 694–716, conserved in 4E-T proteins, part of the P- body localization sequences (26). Interactions shown in this study: solid line—interactions displayed by deletion and truncated fragments of 4E-T, as well as by FLAG-tagged UNR, -unrip and -DDX6. Brackets indicate regions of interactions with indicated proteins displayed by truncated fragments of 4E-T. Dotted grey line, interactions shown by FLAG-tagged UNR, -unrip and -DDX6. Arrows indicate bait identity. Interactions solved structurally in other studies: the canonical and non-canonical 4E-T-eIF4E binding sites (8) and 4E-T-DDX6-CNOT1 (36).
