Fig. 4From: Additional sex combs interacts with enhancer of zeste and trithorax and modulates levels of trimethylation on histone H3K4 and H3K27 during transcription of hsp70 Map of Asx summarizing interaction sites of E(z) and Trx SET domains indentified using a GST pull-down assay. a Linear map of Asx showing a bipartite recognition site for both E(z)SET and TrxSET domains. The NH2 terminal recognition site (residues 1–354) termed E(z)-Trx SET domain interaction site 1 (ETSI-1) and the COOH terminal site (residues 1200–1501) termed ETSI-2 are marked above in blue. The single weak recognition site for TrxSET domain (residues 1501–1669), termed TSI, is marked in orange. The ETSI-1 site overlaps both the conserved AsxH domain (residues 200–354) and the Calypso binding site (marked below in green). b Summary of the GST pull-down analysis of the interaction between 35S-labeled Asx deletion fragments with GST fusion proteins of E(z) SET domain or Trx SET domain after a 0.6 M NaCl wash. Non-binding Asx fragments A(1–1200), A(1–200), A(200–354) and A(1381–1501) are indicated by (−). Scouring of the interactions of the Asx deletion fragments with GST-E(z) SET or GST-Trx SET is based on the densitometry of band intensity relative to GST [(++; > tenfold),; +; (twofold–tenfold)]Back to article page
