Figure 4From: Delineation of RAID1, the RACK1 interaction domain located within the unique N-terminal region of the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, PDE4D5Pull down assays to probe the interaction between PDE4D5 and RACK1. Pull down assays between RACK1 and PDE4D5 mutants were done as described in Methods. Shown are immunoblots for VSV-epitope tagged forms of full length PDE4D5 detected using an anti-VSV monoclonal antibody. Tracks 1 to 5 are immunoblots of cell lysates showing that equal amounts of immunoreactive material were taken for these pull-down studies. Tracks 6 to 10 are blots showing the 'pull-downs', namely material that is found associated with glutathione agarose-immobilized GST-RACK1. Full length PDE4D5 forms were used as either wild type (tracks 1, 6) or the mutant forms Leu33Asp (tracks 2, 7), Arg34Ala (tracks 3, 8), Leu37Asp:Leu38Asp (tracks 4, 9) and Leu37Glu:Leu38Glu (tracks 5, 10). These data are typical of experiments done at least three times.Back to article page
