Figure 2 mGluR binding disrupts the autoinhibitory assemblies of Tamalin to liberate the Intrinsic ligand. (A) Schematic representation of the domain structure of Tamalin. Molecules identified as binding partners and the series of constructs used in this study are depicted. (B, C) Yeast two-hybrid assays of hetero- (B) and homotypic (C) interactions of Tamalin. The independent mating cultures were spotted and then assayed for -gal activity. (D) Disruption of the autoinhibitory assembly of Tamalin by the binding of the mGluR5 C-terminal peptide. We utilized a pBridge vector (Clontech) instead of pAS2-1, in which the mGluR5 C-terminus was cloned or not into second multiple cloning site.
