Figure Lengend Snippet: A) GST binding assay: the IgFlna-16-19 domains bind with the Grb7-RA-PH domains. GST-IgFlna-16-19 and Grb7-RA-PH-6His were bacterially expressed and purified using glutathione (Glu-) sepharose beads and Ni-NTA agarose beads, respectively. Grb7-RA-PH-6His was incubated with GST-IgFlna-16-19 coupled glutathione beads and the eluted fraction was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and stained using Coomassie brilliant blue. Lanes: 1: protein standards, 2: purified GST-IgFlna-16-19, 3: Glu-sepharose beads elution fraction of GST-IgFlna-16-19 and Grb7-RA-PH-6His mixture, 4: purified Grb7-RA-PH-6His, 5: Glu-sepharose beads elution fraction of GST-IgFlna-16-19 and Grb7-RA-PH-6His mixture, 6: Glu-sepharose beads elution fraction of GST and Grb7-RA-PH-6His mixture, 7: Glu-sepharose beads elution fraction of Grb7-RAPH-6His alone. B) in vitro pull down of myc-Grb7-RA-PH by IgFlna-16-19. in vitro translated myc-tagged Grb7- RA-PH was incubated with purified glutathione coupled GST-IgFlna-16-19 (Lane 1) or GST alone (Lane 2). Lane 3 represents the elution fraction from glutathione coupled GST-IgFlna-16-19 only. Elution fractions were resolved by SDS-PAGE, and proteins were identified by Western blot analysis using mouse myc monoclonal antibody for Grb7-RA-PH detection and mouse GST monoclonal antibody for IgFlna-16-19 detection. C) In vivo coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous Grb7 and Filamin-a proteins. Left panels: coimmunoprecipitation with resin-coupled Grb7 antibody was performed on SKBR3 cell extracts endogenously expressing Grb7 and Filamin-a (Lanes 1–2, left upper panel). The whole cell lysate (WCL, lower left panel) and the resulting immunocomplexes (IP: Grb7) were immunoblotted with anti Grb7 (H-70), anti-Filamin-a (3 F-180), and anti-Actin (C-2) antibodies. A non-specific IgG control antibody immunoprecipitation (Lane 3, upper left panel) was also carried out on the extracts to show the interaction was specific. These experiments were also performed in MCF7 and Hela cells (Grb7 transfected), and similar results were observed (unpublished data). Right panels: the reverse process, that is, coimmunoprecipitation with resin-coupled Flna antibody was also performed (Lanes 1–2, upper right panel). The whole cell lysate (WCL, lower right panel), and the resulting immunocomplexes (IP: Filamin-a) were immunoblotted with Filamin-a and Grb7 antibodies. Non-specific IgG control and “non-antibody coupled beads” control coimmunoprecipitations (Lanes 3–4, upper right panel) show the interaction were specific. (COIP1: coimmunoprecipitation reaction1, COIP2: coimmunoprecipitation reaction 2, WCL1: whole cell lysate sample1, WCL2: whole cell lysate sample 2).
