Fig. 1. eIF4G2 encodes a novel eIF4G homolog in
Drosophila.(A) Alignments of Drosophila eIF4G and
eIF4G2 proteins with human eIF4GI (EIF4G1-HUGO) and eIF4GII (EIF4G3-HUGO).
Black sections indicate recognized domains, with percentage identical to the
eIF4GI middle domain marked. (B) Myc-eIF4E1 co-immunoprecipitates with
HA-eIF4G2 from S2 cells. Immunoprecipitation with anti-HA. Western blot probed
with anti-Myc and anti-HA, as indicated. Crude extract is 1/10 of each
pre-immunoprecipitation (IP) sample.
