Fig. 4. The P3 motif is not required for Frazzled multimerization.
(A,B) Co-immunoprecipitation of Myc and HA-tagged Frazzled
constructs expressed in Drosophila S2R+ cells. Lysates were
immunoprecipitated with either anti-Myc antibody (A, and upper left in B), or
anti-HA antibody (upper right B). (A) Myr-Fra-Myc co-immunoprecipitates with
HA-tagged Fra constructs, including one lacking the P3 motif (lane 3).
Fra
C-HA serves as a control (lane 5). (B) A P3 motif is not required in
either construct for interaction, as Myr-Fra
P3-Myc binds to
P3
constructs as efficiently as to those containing wild-type cytoplasmic domains
(compare lanes 2, 5, 7 and 10 to lanes 1, 4, 6 and 9).
