Phosphorylation independent interaction of Pin1 with TAZ in vitro and in vivo. (A) Pin1 interacts with S/T-P mutant of TAZ in vitro, all (six) S or T sites followed by Proline of TAZ (S/T-P) were mutated to alanines (TAZ-6A). 200 µg of cell lysates from FLAG-tagged-TAZ-WT/TAZ-6A plasmids transfected HEK293 cells were precleared with 50% GSB beads overnight at 4 °C and GST pull down assay was carried out as described using GST or Pin1-GST. (B) Pin1 interacts with S/T-P mutant of TAZ in vivo. Co-IP was carried out as described above. In brief, FLAG-tagged-TAZ-WT/TAZ-6A were transfected alone or together with HA-tagged Pin1-WT into HEK293 cells and cells were harvested in 1% NP 40 lysis buffer after 48 hrs of transfection. After checking the expression, equal amount of lysates were subjected to co-immunoprecipitation. (C) Inhibition of phosphorylation of TAZ did not abolish the interaction of Pin1 with TAZ, GST-pull down was carried out using the FLAG-tagged-TAZ transfected HEK293 cell lysates treated or not treated with calf intestinal phosphatase (CIP) and Pin1-GST.
