The C-terminal PDZ-binding motif of Slitrk2 is required for Slitrk2 binding to PDZ domains of PSD-95 or the PDZ domain of Shank3a. (A) Schematic diagrams of a series of PSD-95 deletion constructs. Abbreviation: PDZ, PSD-95/Dlg-A/ZO-1; SH3, src homology 3; and GK, guanylate kinase. (B) Coimmunoprecipitation experiment demonstrating that PDZ1 + 2 domains of PSD-95 are required for interaction with Slitrk2. HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-tagged Slitrk2 alone or together with the indicated PSD-95 deletion constructs, after which coimmunoprecipitation of Slitrk2 with PSD-95 was assayed. Input, 5%. (C) Schematic diagrams of Shank3a, Shank3b, Shank3c, and Shank3e expression vectors. Abbreviations: ANK, ankyrin repeat; PDZ, PSD-95/Dlg-A/ZO-1; SH3, Src homology 3; and SAM, sterile alpha motif. (D) HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-tagged Slitrk2 alone or together with Shank3 variants (C), after which coimmunoprecipitation of Slitrk2 with Shank3 was assayed. Input, 5%. (E) Schematic diagrams of a series of Shank3a deletion constructs. Abbreviations: ANK, ankyrin repeat; PDZ, PSD-95/Dlg-A/ZO-1; SH3, Src homology 3; and SAM, sterile alpha motif. (F) Coimmunoprecipitation experiment demonstrating that the PDZ domain of Shank3a is sufficient for interaction with Slitrk2. HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-tagged Slitrk2 alone or together with Shank3a deletion constructs, after which coimmunoprecipitation of Slitrk2 with Shank3a was assayed. Input, 5%.
