(B) Identification of Not-associated isopeptidase activity proteins by immunoprecipitation followed by size fractionation and mass-spectrometry. CP190, Mod (mdg4), Nup96-98, and E(y)two were all present in Group 2. Not-FH; IP with full length Not FLAG-HA tagged (C) Summary of protein complexes isolated identified by mass-spectrometry (D, E) Not binds to the C-terminal portion of CP190 and to E(y)2. (D) Immunoprecipitation confirms Non-stop specifically interacts with NIC subunits Cp190 and Mdg4. Endogenous Non-stop was immunoprecipitated from whole cell extracts prepared from adult OregonR flies using an α-Non-stop antibody. Control immunoprecipitations were performed with α-guinea-pig IGG. The presence of NIC subunits was assayed by immunoblotting with antibodies specific for Cp190 or Mdg4 as indicated. (E) Western-blot of in vitro binding between HA-Not derived from S2 cell extract and the indicated bacterially expressed purified His-tagged proteins. 10% input is shown. (F) Coomassie blue staining of the indicated bacterially expressed His-tagged proteins used in the binding assay in (E). (G) Upper panel: Schematic diagram of Y2H interaction assay between CP190 and Non-stop. Different fragments of CP190 were fused to the activation domain (AD) of GAL4 and tested for interaction with Non-stop fused to the DNA-binding domain (BD) of GAL4. Protein domains of full-length CP190 are indicated as boxes, and lines represent the different deletion fragments. Zf denote zinc-fingers; BTB, BTB/POZ domain; D, aspartic acid -rich region; M, microtubule-interacting region; E, acid glutamate-rich region of CP190. The results are summarized in columns on the right (BD-Not and BD alone), with the ‘+” and “- “signs denotes presence and absence of interaction, respectively. Lower panel: Schematic diagram of Y2H and Y4H interaction assay between Mod(mdg4) and Non-stop. Different fragments of Mod(mdg4) were fused to the activation domain (AD) of GAL4 and tested for interaction with Non-stop fused to the DNA-binding domain (BD) of GAL4 and complex of BD-Non-stop with Eny2 and Sgf11. Protein domains of full-length Mod(mdg4) are indicated as boxes, and lines represent the different deletion fragments. BTB, BTB/POZ domain; Q, glutamine-rich region; FL, FLYWCH-type zinc finger domain; SID, Su(Hw) interaction domain. The results are summarized in columns on the right (BD-Not, BD-Not/Eny2/Sgf11 and BD alone), ‘+” and “- “signs denotes presence and absence of interaction, respectively.

(A–E) Confocal images of the midgut tissue and the indicated transgenes expressed in EC using the MyoIA-Gal4/Gal80ts. (A–E) anti-Delta (A’–C’) anti-Odd-skipped. (A, A’) UAS-LacZ, (B, B’) UAS-Sgf11-RNAi; (C, C’) UAS GCN5-RNAi, (D) UAS-Atx7 RNAi (E) UAS-Su(Hw)- RNAi. DAPI marks DNA, Scale bar is 10 μM. (F) Schematic diagram of Y3H interaction assay between Eny2, Sgf11 and Non-stop. Full-sized Eny2 and Sgf11 were fused to the activation domain (AD) of GAL4 and tested for interaction with Non-stop fused to the DNA-binding domain (BD) of GAL4 in Y2H. In a simple Y2H we did not observe any interaction. Y3H assay demonstrated assembly of tertiary Eny2-Sgf11-Non-stop complex. Y3H was combined in two variants: 1 – BD-Non-stop, AD-Eny2 and Sgf11 (as additional plasmid); 2 - BD-Non-stop and AD-Eny2-2A-Sgf11 (plasmid coding fusion protein consisting of AD-Eny2 and Sgf11 separated by a self-cleavage 2A-peptide). The results are summarized in columns on the right (BD-Not and BD alone), with the ‘+” and “- “signs denotes presence and absence of interaction, respectively.
