Fig. 5

a Analysis of levels of recombinant GST-EFR3A, as detected by immunoblot with an anti-EFR3A antibody, that co-immunoprecipitates (CO-IP) with recombinant His10-KRASG12V (preloaded with GTPγS) using an anti-KRAS antibody, in the presence of increasing levels of the RBD of BRAF, detected with and a BRAF-specific antibody. INPUT levels are shown as loading controls. be A (b) schematic of GST-EFR3A constructs used (FL: EFR3A base construct lacking 1-107 residues, C: C-terminal fragment, Δ: C-terminal truncations of FL) and (c, d) the levels and (e) quantification thereof of the indicated recombinant GST-EFR3A proteins, as detected by immunoblot with an EFR3A-specific antibody, co-immunoprecipitating (CO-IP) with recombinant His10-KRASG12V (preloaded with GTPγS) using a KRAS-specific antibody. INPUT and IP serve as loading controls. GST serves as a negative CO-IP control. f, g Analysis of the (f) levels and (g) quantification thereof of the endogenous EFR3A, as detected by immunoblot with an EFR3A-specific antibody, co-immunoprecipitating (CO-IP) with FLAG-KRASG12D using a FLAG-specific antibody when transiently expressed in 293T cells. h Levels of endogenous EFR3A bound to endogenous active KRAS, as assessed by RBD pull-down assay in AsPC-1 cells, as assessed by incubating AsPC-1 cell lysate with recombinant GST-RAF-RBD protein, followed by immunoblot with a KRAS-specific antibody to detect active KRAS and an EFR3A-specific antibody to detect endogenous EFR3A. INPUT and IP levels are shown as loading controls. a, ch Representative of 3 biological replicates. Replicate experiments and full-length gels are provided in Supplementary Fig. 12. Significance values calculated by one-sided student’s t test for (e, g): ***p < 0.001. Specific p values for (e) are 0.00052 (FL), 0.00035 (C), 0.00011 (Δ1), 0.00014 (Δ2), 0.00056 (Δ3), and 0.00034 (Δ4) and (g) is 0.00087.
