Fig. 7. The PX domains of Vps5p and Vps17p, respectively, bind specifically to
PtdIns3P. (A) The ability of the PX domains of Vps5p and Vps17p to
bind lipids in vitro was tested by a protein-lipid overlay assay using GST-PX
domain fusion proteins and nitrocellulose-immobilized phospholipid strips. PI,
phosphatidylinositol; PC, phosphatidylcholine. (B) Serial dilutions of
PtdIns3P (100 pmol, 50 pmol and 25 pmol) were spotted onto
nitrocellulose membranes and incubated with 10 ng ml-1 of purified
GST-Vps5 PX, GST-Vps17 PX or Vam7 PX domain fusion protein. (C) Localization
of Vps17-GFP in PtdIns-kinase mutant strains defective for synthesis of
PtdIns(3,5)P2 ( fab1, PBY116), PtdIns
(4)P (pik1tsf, PBY114;
stt4tsf, PBY115), and PtdIns (4,5)P2
(mss4tsf, PBY117). The strains were incubated at
non-permissive temperature (37°C) as indicated.
