Fig. 1. Identification of syntaxin 4 as a murine CENP-F-interacting protein. (A) A Y2H screen was conducted and described previously (Pooley et al., 2006). One of the interacting proteins with murine CENP-F (mCENP-F) was identified as syntaxin 4. The plasmid was isolated from a colony that survived on QDO media and subsequently sequenced. The resulting sequence was identified as the C-terminal 144 aa of syntaxin 4, labeled Y2HS4. The N-terminal 474 aa region of murine CENP-F (NTmCENP-F), was further characterized as being the region of CENP-F sufficient for syntaxin 4 interaction by Y2H. (B) Positive associations grew on QDO medium and exhibited blue color upon testing for β-Gal. As a positive control, growth was indicated by yeast transformed with pGBKT7-53 and pGADT7-T. The previously described interaction of NTmCENP-F with SNAP-25 was also used as a positive control (Pooley et al., 2006). The negative control with yeast co-expressing pGBTK-53 and the empty vector pGADT7 demonstrated no growth on the medium. The test interaction clearly demonstrates that NTmCENP-F does associate with the Y2HS4 portion of syntaxin 4 in yeast.
