AnkX interacts with phosphoinositide lipids via its C-terminal region. (A) Schematic of lipids spotted on the phosphoinositide strip (LPA, lysophosphatidic acid; LPC, lysophosphocholine; PtdIns, phosphatidylinositol; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PC, phosphatidylcholine; SIP, sphingosine-1-phosphate; P, phosphate; P2, biphosphate; P3, triphosphate; PA, phosphatidic acid; PS, phosphatidylserine). (B) Protein-lipid overlay assay reveals that a C-terminal fragment of AnkX preferentially binds PI(3)P and PI(4)P. Untagged full-length AnkX was detected with an AnkX antibody and a GST antibody was used to detect the GST-tagged truncated versions of AnkX.
