Figure 4 EAT-2 binds exclusively to a phosphorylated peptide (pY281) derived from the cytoplasmic tail of CD150. (A) Fluorescence polarization analysis of the EAT-2 binding to a phosphorylated pY281 peptide. Different concentrations of GST -mouse EAT-2 (or GST -human SH2D1A) and an 11mer synthetic peptide identical to amino acid residues 276 -287 of human CD150 (Sayos et al., 1998), tyrosine phosphorylated or not, were used. Top panel: binding of GST -mouse EAT-2 to the pY281 (filled triangles and continuous line) or the Y281 peptide (open squares and dashed line). Bottom panel: binding of GST -human SH2D1A to the pY281 (filled triangles and continuous line) or the Y281 peptide (open squares and dashed line). x-axis: protein concentration (nM); y-axis: polarization units (mP). The table summarizes the apparent dissociation constant (kD). (B) Hybrid system analysis of the interaction between EAT-2 and the cytoplasmic tail of CD150 in the presence or absence of fyn. Dashed bars indicate the interaction between the EAT-2 (or SH2D1A) full-length protein fused to a GAL4 DNA-binding domain and the GAL4 DNA activation domain fused to the cytoplasmic tail of the CD150 receptor. An empty pGAD424 vector was used as a control (solid bars). The test was conducted in either the presence or absence of fyn[420,531Y -F]. y-axis = -galactosidase (U/ml).
