The DLC1 SAM domain bound to peptides derived from PTEN or TNS3 C2 domain.
A, peptide-walking arrays of the PTEN-C2 (aa 174–403) or TNS3-C2 domain (aa 166–440) were probed with purified GST-SAM and the bound protein detected by anti-GST Western blotting. Peptides representing phosphorylated peptides, which showed no binding, are identified in white boxes. See Fig. S1 for the peptide array map and peptide identities. B, sequence alignment of the PTEN and TNS3 C2 domains with the SAM-binding peptides/motifs identified in A are shown in black boxes. C, SAM-binding peptides from B mapped onto the structure of the PTEN-C2 domain (PDB code 1D5R, aa 188–351; 230GPTR peptide in green, 257FFHK in red, and 334NRYF in blue). D and E, binding of the SAM domain to peptides from PTEN (230GPTRREDKFMYF) or TNS3 (244CYHKKYRSATRD) C2 domains. Shown are representative binding curves from fluorescence polarization (FP) analysis (n = 3) using the corresponding fluorescein-labeled C2 peptides. ΔFP, difference in fluorescence polarization.
