The GST pull-down assay showed that Three GST-YWHAH constructs, Full-YWHAHp1β247, YWHAHp1β100 and YWHAHp1β80 bind YWHAH, but not YWHAHp1β60 and YWHAHp60β247. The YWHAH binding site for PIG-2 was delineated to be residues 61β80 (black box). () Mapping of YWHAH binding domain of PIG-2. Four GST fusion constructs, Full-PIG-2p1-184, PIG-2p1-144, PIG-2p1-100 and PIG-2p1-67 were prepared using PIG-2 cDNA as a template DNA. The GST pull-down assay showed all constructs, The PIG-2 binding site for YWHAH was delineated to be residues 1β67. Gray box is DAN domain. () Schematic diagram shows X-ray crystallography of YWHAH protein. PIG-2 protein binding site was indicated by arrow
