Comments concerning this interaction

Expression of wildtype Ubx results in enrichment of alternatively spliced exon 1 of pAbp. The Ubx N51A mutation significantly decreases enrichment of exon 1 of pAbp.

(Carnesecchi et al., 2022)

Source was S2R+ cell line; bait produced from tagged transgenic construct; prey produced from endogenous gene.

Comments concerning this interaction

Alternatively spliced exon 1 was reverse-transcribed from pAbp mRNA. Co-expression of wild-type Ubx with N51A Ubx strongly restores Ubx-pAbp interaction. Ubx N51A-K58A mutant fails to associate with RNA exons int he presence of Ubx wild-type.

(Blanco et al., 2025)

Source was cell extract of S2R+ cell line; bait produced from tagged transgenic construct; prey produced from endogenous gene.
