a Immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody of protein extracts from HEK293T cells co-transfected with Flag-tagged EphA2 and V5-tagged EGFR. Western blot analysis was carried out with the indicated antibodies. b Immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody of extracts from HEK293T cells co-transfected with Flag-tagged Ephexin1, V5-tagged EGFR, and/or V5-tagged EphA2 plasmids. Western blot analysis was carried out with the indicated antibodies. c Immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody of extracts from HEK293T cells transfected with Flag-tagged Ephexin1 and treated with EGF (100 ng/ml) after 16 h of serum starvation. Western blot analysis was carried out with the indicated antibodies. d Proximity ligation assay (PLA) of EphA2 and EGFR in either shControl or shEphexin1-H1299 cells showing the location of both proteins (red). The cells were counterstained with DAPI (blue) to visualize the nuclei. Scale bar = 10 um. e Quantification of the Proximity ligation assay (PLA) shown in (d). Data are shown as mean ± SD. ***P < 0.001 as determined through a two-tailed Student’s t test. f, g Lysates from shControl or shEphexin1 H1299 cells were immunoprecipitated with anti-EGFR antibody or anti-EphA2 antibody. western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies. H Immunoprecipitation analysis with anti-Flag antibody and analysis with the indicated antibodies of HEK293T cells co-transfected with Flag-tagged EphA2, V5-tagged EGFR, and/or V5-tagged Ephexin1 plasmids. I Pulldown assays using an anti-Flag antibody of the Flag-tagged EphA2_Kinase domain with GST or GST-Ephexin1. j Pulldown assays using an anti-Flag antibody of the Flag-tagged-EphA2_kinase domain, HA-tagged-EGFR_RR domain, and GST-Ephexin1 as indicated.
