Figure Lengend Snippet: YSD binding of Scl WT and the selected single‐mutation variants to LRP4. Geometric mean fluorescence intensity (Geo MFI) is presented as a fold change. Recombinant yeast cells expressing Scl WT or its variants were incubated with (A) 1 n m , (B) 10 n m , or (C) 50 n m soluble LRP4. The binding signal of each Scl variant was normalized first to the expression signal of the corresponding variant and then to the binding signal of Scl WT at the respective LRP4 concentration. Each experiment was repeated at least three times, and the results are presented as means ± SD. Statistical significance was assessed using an unpaired, two‐tailed Student's t ‐test. * P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001.
Article Snippet: For library sorting, the cells were incubated with 5 n m soluble His‐tagged human LRP4 or 650 n m soluble His‐tagged mouse LRP6 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and 1 : 100 affinity‐purified chicken anti‐c‐Myc antibody (Immunology Consultants Laboratory, Inc., Portland, OR, USA) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by double staining with a 1 : 50 FITC‐conjugated anti‐6 × His‐tag monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and 1 : 50 Alexa FluorTM 555‐labeled goat anti‐chicken IgY (H + L) antibody (Invitrogen) for 20 min in the dark on ice.
