Fig. 3. Summary of nuclear envelope localization and lamin interaction of
C-terminal deletions of YA. Regions of the YA C-terminus (light gray box)
fused in frame with the GFP coding sequence (dark gray box) and SV40 T-Ag NLS
(black box) tested for nuclear periphery location (Figs
1 and
2) or in the yeast two-hybrid
system (Table 1) are shown.
Nuclear envelope localizations of GFP-NLS-YA fusions are: +, colocalization
with lamin; , presence of the fusion in both nucleus and cytoplasm with
no preferential peripheral staining of the nucleus; `misfolded', inability of
the fusion protein to enter the nucleus. Interaction of the various deletion
constructs with lamin Dm0 in the yeast two-hybrid assay: +, strong
interaction; (+), weak interaction; , no detectable interaction.
