Fig 4. RIT1 directly interacts with PAK1.

Fig 4

Recombinant His-tagged RIT1 wildtype (WT), p.A57G and p.F82L proteins (0.5 μM each) were loaded with GDP or non-hydrolyzable GTPγS as indicated, incubated with 1 μM GST-PAK[CRIB] bound to glutathione agarose, and precipitated. Samples were analyzed by immunoblotting using an anti-His antibody (precipitates and input) and an anti-GST antibody (precipitates). (A) RIT1 binds to PAK[CRIB]. To confirm specificity, recombinant GST-SAPAP2 (750 nM) and GST (1 μM) were used. (B) RIT1GTPγS interacts with PAK[CRIB] in the nanomolar range. Final concentrations of His-RIT1GTPγS are indicated in μM. As control, His-RIT1GTPγS was incubated with GST alone (lower panels). (C) Both GDP- and GTPγS-loaded RIT1 mutants p.A57G and p.F82L interact with PAK[CRIB]. Data shown are representative of three (A and B) and two (C) independent experiments.
