Figure 1: Schematic Yap1 structures and in vivo analysis of Yap1-RD^GFP subcellular localization and oxidation. a, Yap1 contains three conserved regions: a basic leucine zipper DNA binding domain (bZIP), an n-CRD (Asn279 to Arg313) and a c-CRD, (Asn565 to Asn650). The NLS and NES are located at the N and C termini, respectively. The Cys303 -Cys598 and Cys310 -Cys629 disulphide bonds are shown with red lines. The oxidized Yap1-RD construct used for structure determination consisted of the protease-resistant n-CRD and c-CRD domains. Yap1-RD^GFP consisted of an SV40 NLS, GFP and residues Asn279 to Arg313 fused to residues Asn549 to Asn650 of Yap1. This fragment encompasses the n-CRD and c-CRD sequences plus a small amount of the native linker. b, Fluorescence microscopy of wild-type and gpx3 cells expressing Yap1-RD^GFP from the native YAP1 promoter on a CEN plasmid. c, Oxidized and reduced Yap1-RD^GFP extracted from wild-type and gpx3 cells. Exponentially growing cells were either exposed to H[2]O[2] or left untreated. Cell extracts were run on non-reducing and reducing SDS -PAGE gels and probed with a GFP antibody.
