Conserved organizational principles of Par3:Insc:LGN:Gαi complexes. a Reconstitution of human Par3:Insc:LGN interaction in cells. HEK293T cells were transfected with Par3-GFP, FLAG-LGN and HA-Insc. Cell lysates were subjected to IP with α-FLAG antibody conjugated to sepharose beads. After washes, species on beads were analyzed by SDS–PAGE and immunoblotted as indicated in the figure. HA-empty vector was included as a negative control of the IP. b SEC elution profiles and SDS–PAGE separation of Insc:LGN:Gαi complexes reconstituted from expression in insect cells (dark green trace) and Par3PDZ123 purified from bacterial sources (pink trace). When the Par3PDZ123 is mixed in molar excess with Insc:LGN:Gαi, it coelutes with Insc:LGN:Gαi in a stoichiometry reflecting the amount of Insc in the complex (light green trace). c Summary of the interactions in the Par3:Insc:LGN:Gαi complex supported by our study. Stable Insc:LGN tetramers form the core of apically localized Par3:Insc:LGN:Gαi complexes, in which the C-terminal portion of the two Insc chains contacts directly the PDZ domains of Par3. Binding of each LGN-GoLoco to four GαiGDP molecules stabilizes the association of the macromolecular assemblies to the plasma membrane
