Fig. 1. PTPL1 expression constructs. (A) Schematic representation of the PTPL1
expression constructs used. The modular protein domains are indicated in
square. Protein segments produced by transient expression are indicated within
parentheses. Numbers correspond to the first and last amino acids positions
according to the PTPL1 sequence (EMBL accession X80289). (B) Expression of
PTPL1-FERM constructs. COS1 cells were transiently transfected with HA-epitope
tagged PTPL1-FERM constructs: wt (lane1), KN1 (lane 2), KN2 (lane 3) or KN1-2
(lane 4) mutants. Cells were lysed in SDS sample buffer, fractionated on a
12.5% SDS-PAGE and expression was revealed after western blotting with anti-HA
antibody. (C) Expression of full-length PTPL1 constructions. COS1 cells were
transiently transfected with HA-epitope tagged PTPL1 constructs: wt (lane1),
KN1-2 (lane 2) or
FERM (lane 3) mutants. Expression was revealed as
described above after fractionation on a 7% SDS-PAGE gel. Molecular weight
markers (left) are experssed in kDa. *Nonspecific band revealed with anti-HA
antibody.
