From: Zfra affects TNF-mediated cell death by interacting with death domain protein TRADD and negatively regulates the activation of NF-κB, JNK1, p53 and WOX1 during stress response

Figure 6

Zfra physically binds TRADD and the N -terminal first WW domain and C -terminal SDR domain in WOX1. Binding of Zfra (as target) with WOX1 (as bait) was mapped by Ras rescue-based yeast two-hybrid analysis (see Materials and Methods). Positive binding is evidenced by the growth of mutant yeast at 37°C in a selective medium. Zfra bound to the N-terminal first WW domain and the C-terminal SRD domain of WOX1. Alteration of the known phosphorylation site Tyr33 to Arg33 (Y33R) in WOX1 abrogated the binding. Zfra did not interact with the mitochondria-targeting region in the SDR domain (Mito-SDR). No yeast cell growth at 37°C was shown when empty vector versus empty vector was tested as a negative control. In a positive control, the self-binding of MafB is shown. In addition, Zfra was shown to bind the full-length TRADD, but not RIP. WOX1 also bound TRADD. Neg cont: negative control; Pos cont: positive control.
