Fig. 2. Small NH[2]-terminal region of JIP-1 is sufficient for interaction with JNK. (A) Cell lysates containing Flag-epitope-tagged^ JNK1 were incubated with GST and GST-JIP-1 (residues 127 to 281) bound to glutathione-Sepharose, and bound proteins were detected^ by protein immunoblot analysis with an antibody to Flag. The effect of increasing concentrations (0, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 µg/ml) of^ synthetic peptide corresponding to JIP-1 residues 148 to 174 or to a peptide with a scrambled sequence (control) was examined. (B) Binding of JNK1 to GST and GST-JIP-1 (residues 127^ to 281) was examined in the absence and presence of synthetic^ peptides (64 µg/ml). The effect of the wild-type peptide (JIP-1^ residues 148 to 174), peptides with point mutations (substitution with Gly) [Thr159 Gly159 (T159G)] (18), and a peptide with a scrambled primary sequence^ (control) was examined. The mutant JIP(159-162G) was constructed^ by replacement of JIP-1 residues 159 to 162 with Gly.
