Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays: Wells of Ni-NTA HisSorb strips (Qiagen) were coated with 100 μl of His-tagged integrin model proteins or His-tagged FAT, a recombinant protein derived from the focal adhesion targeting sequence of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) plus 0.2% BSA at 4 °C overnight. The next day, wells were washed with PBS three times and blocked with 150 μl of 1% (w/v) heat-denatured BSA at room temperature for 1 h. The wells were then washed with PBS three times. 100 μl of recombinant paxillin or its mutants at different concentrations dissolved in PBS plus 0.2% (w/v) BSA was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Unbound proteins were washed out with PBS three times. Bound proteins were stained with mouse anti-HA tag (1:1,000 dilution in PBS plus 1% BSA) or mouse anti-GST antibodies (1:1,000 dilution in PBS plus 1% BSA) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by 1 h incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:1,000 dilution in PBS plus 1% BSA) (BioSource). After three washes, bound proteins were assayed by measuring peroxidase activity with o- phenylenediamine as a substrate and quantified by reading its optical density at 490 nm. For competition assays using paxillin fragment, P(Ala176–Asp275), or recombinant full-length paxillin (GST-free), the same modified ELISA assays were performed except that different concentrations of this fragment was included in the paxillin solution added to the integrin model protein- or FAT-coated wells. Data were expressed as percentage of inhibition: (1 − B/B0) × 100%; where B = A490 in the presence of the competitor and B0 = A490in its absence.
