Larger Image Figure 7. Active Raps and β-Catenin Interact (A) The GFP-RBDRalGDS active Rap sensor reveals the presence of active Raps in the nucleus and plasma membrane of dorsal blastopore lip cells at stage 10. (B) Rap1 protein co-immunoprecipitates with β-catenin. IP, immunoprecipitate. (C) Pull-down of active Rap proteins from stage 10 Xenopus embryos using the RalGDS sensor. β-Catenin co-immunoprecipitates with active Raps demonstrating an interaction. (D) Injection of CA Rap1b mRNA can partially rescue loss of foxj1 expression in rapgef5 morphants, while DN Rap1b mRNA does not. ∗∗∗p < 0.0001. See also Figure S7.
