Fig. 1. Sly1ts protein has a lower binding affinity for Sed5 than Sly1
protein. (A) Recombinant genes encoding myc-tagged Sly1, Sly1-20 and
Sly1ts on CEN plasmids under its native promoter were
expressed in the sly1ts strain. Lysates of the
sly1ts strains containing vector, Sly1-6myc, Sly1-20-6myc
or Sly1ts-6myc were prepared with glass beads and 1% Triton X-100,
and immunoprecipitation was performed using an anti-myc monoclonal IgG and
equal starting amounts of lysate. The
Sly1-6myc/Sly1-20-6myc/Sly1ts-6myc protein and Sed5 protein
immunoprecipitated by anti-myc antibody were detected by western blotting. The
bands of Sly1-6myc/Sly1-20-6myc/Sly1ts-6myc and Sed5 are indicated.
(B) MBP-fusion proteins of Sed5 TMD and its coiled-coil regions with a
C-terminal myc tag were produced in E. coli and purified by amylose
resin. GST-fusion Sly1/Sly1ts proteins were also produced and
purified by glutathione-Sepharose 4B. Proteins were collected by anti-myc IgG
and Protein A-Sepharose beads from the mixture of MBP-Sed5-myc (3 µg) and
GST-Sly1 (6 µg, lane 1); MBP-Sed5-myc and GST-Sly1ts (6 µg,
lane 2); MBP-Sed5H1-myc (3 µg) and GST-Sly1 (lane 3); MBP-Sed5H1-myc and
GST-Sly1ts (lane 4); MBP-Sed5H3-myc (3 µg) and GST-Sly1 (lane
5); MBP-Sed5H3-myc and GST-Sly1ts (lane 6). Note that equal amounts
of GST-Sly1 and GST-Sly1ts proteins were used for the binding assay
(6 µg). The bands of MBP-Sed5-myc, MBP-Sed5H1-myc, MBP-Sed5H3-myc and
GST-Sly1/Sly1ts are indicated by arrowheads on the right. Positions
of molecular mass markers are shown on the left in kDa.
