Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative interactions on a focused PAR-binding array. ( A–C ) A focused protein domain array containing previously reported PAR-binding domains and the RRMs of PABPN1 and NCL was used to validate binding with biotinylated PAR5 ( A ), PAR20 ( B ), and PAR-long ( C ). ( D ) Anti-GST antibody serves as a loading control for panels ( A )–( C ). ( E ) Map and ( F ) key of the arrayed proteins shown in panels ( A )–( D ). The array includes newly identified PAR binders from Fig. , as well as previously known PAR-binding domains, including Macro, PBM, PBZ, WWE, OB Fold, PIN, RRM, and BRCT domains. In the key ( F ), green-highlighted domains indicate positive PAR binders (both strong and weak). ( G ) Pull-down assay validates the interaction between PAR-long and the RRMs of PABPN1 and NCL. ( H ) Interaction mapping between PAR chains and individual RRM domains of NCL. ( I ) Map and ( J ) key of the arrayed proteins shown in panel ( H ). In the key ( J ), green-highlighted domains indicate interactions with PAR chains. ( K ) Pull-down assay validates the interaction between PAR-long and NCL RRM [ – ]. Biotinylated probes were labeled with Cy3-streptavidin. In maps [panels ( E ) and ( I )], “c” represents GST alone. Gray dots represent empty spaces.
