Identification of EBRs within the Ft ICD. (A) Identification of EBR2 in the Ft ICD. HEK293 cell expression and IP of indicated FLAG-tagged FtΔECD constructs in the presence of ExFERM. (B) Ft conserved C and D regions affect interaction with Ex. HEK293 cell expression and IP of indicated FLAG-tagged FtΔECD constructs in the presence of ExFERM. The expression and presence of proteins was analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. Ft presents as multiple bands due to proteolytic processing (Feng and Irvine, 2009; Sopko et al., 2009). (C) Graphical scheme highlighting the Ft constructs used in the figure. In addition, the transmembrane domain (TM), EBR1, EBR2, and established conserved and function domains of the Ft ICD are depicted. In binding column: “++” denotes constructs that interact strongly to ExFERM, “+” denotes weak interaction with ExFERM, and “−” denotes no interaction with ExFERM. WB, Western blot.
