Source was cell extract of S2 cell line; bait produced from transfected construct; prey produced from transfected construct.
Treatment of cells with hh disrupts the interaction of smo with Vps36.
Mutations in the smo C-tail that mimic the phosphorylated state disrupt binding by Vps36.
Cloning a ubiquitin polypeptide into the C-terminal end of smo yields the interaction with Vps36 resistant to hh-mediated disruption.
Cotransfection of cells with Ubpy (Usp8, a smo deubiquitinylase), disrupts the smo-Vps36 interaction.
