Using a proteomics approach in the epithelial cell line MDCK, you discover a new protein that binds physicaly to the cell polarity protein PatJl. You name it Partner Of PatJ-1, FOP-1. You characterise POP-1 as a new member of the cell polarity complex that Pat belongs to Your initial studies show co-localisation of POP-1 with Z0-1 in MDCK cells in 2D cultures (see figure below) TOP VIEW SIDE VIEW POP-1 (2 marks) ZO-1 a. What other cell polarity proteins would you expect to find in the POP-1 complex? (2 marka) b. What junctional complex is Z0-1 part of? What other types of junctions are base ly localised to Tight Junctions? (2 marks) c. Would you expect POP-1 to inhibitor cooperate with the Scribbe complex to regulate Apicobasal cell polanty? Why? POP-1 WT Looking through cancer mutation catabases you notice that a point mutation at amino acid 233 (L->P) of POP-1 occurs in more than 30% of human renal cell carcinomas. You use CRISPR editing to introduce the equivalent point mutation in MDCK cells, POP-1 L233P. You compare the localisation of PATJ by immunofluorescence (aPATJ) in POP-1 wildtype (WT) and PGP-3 L233PMDCK cells (see Figure). aPATJ POP-1IZO-1 MERGE aPATJ POP-1 L233P d. What effect would you predict the L233P mutation would have on the cell polarity function of PATJ? Why? (2 marks) e. What effect do you think the POP-1 L233P mutation would have on the localisation of the Discs Lerge (Dig) proteins in MDCK cells? Why? (2 Merke)
