Fig. 3. Co-immunoprecipitation of different epitope-tagged wild-type and truncated
Xfz3 receptors. Embryos were injected with the mRNA encoding the indicated
receptor (Xfz3-myc or Xfz3
C-myc) alone or in combination with Xfz3-HA.
Protein extracts from injected embryos were subjected to immunoprecipitation
by using the anti-HA antibody (lanes 1, 3, 5, 7) or the anti-myc antibody
(lanes 2, 4, 6, 8). Immunoprecipitates were then immunoblotted with the
anti-myc antibody. Anti-HA antibody does not immunoprecipitate any
myc-positive bands from embryos expressing only Xfz3-HA (lane 7) or
Xfz3
C-myc (lane 1) but does precipitate bands corresponding to
Xfz3
C-myc in co-injected embryos (lane 3). Similar results are obtained
when Xfz3
C-myc is replaced by the full-length Xfz3-myc (lane 5).
