Fig. 6. Ninein interacts with
-tubulin by its N-terminal domain. (A) GFP-ninein expressed for 2 hours in L929 cells recruited the microtubule-nucleation complex (arrowhead) as judged by
-tubulin (a) or Spc98p (b) staining. The centrosome of a control cell is indicated by an arrow. Bars, 10 µm (the centrosome areas were magnified four times in insets). (B) Fusion constructs including the ninein N-terminal domain immunoprecipitated with myc/
-tubulin. Extracts from L929 cells co-expressing myc/
-tubulin and either one of the three different GFP-ninein constructs indicated were used for immunoprecipitation experiments with a polyclonal anti-GFP antibody. The weak band of
-tubulin associated with immunoprecipitation of GFP/Cter-ninein is likely to be non-specific. (C) Two N-terminal domains (residues 1-246 and 1-496) of ninein were expressed as GST fusions and incubated with a lysate prepared from HeLa cells.
-Tubulin was present in all of the ninein-GST pull-downs. A similar result was obtained for Spc98/GCP3.
