Fig. 2. (A) Western blotting of membranes prepared from HEK 293 cells transiently
transfected with a control plasmid or with expression vectors containing the
indicated myc-tagged Ubc6 homologues. For unknown reasons the anti-myc
antibody detected three bands for the epitope-tagged human homologue of the
second class. (B) Immunofluorescence microscopy of HEK 293 cells expressing
epitope-tagged versions of both classes of Ubc6 homologues. In the
non-transfected control, anti-TRAP
was used to stain a typical
ER-membrane protein. The anti-myc antibody displays a very similar staining
pattern for both Ubc6 classes.
