Coimmunoprecipitation Assays.
(A) The Flag-tagged COI1 forms an SCF complex in Arabidopsis. Protein extracts from coi1-1 (lane 1) and transgenic coi1-1 expressing Flag-tagged COI1 (coi1-1::Flag-COI1; lane 2) were immunoprecipitated with α-Flag antibody (lanes 3 and 4).
(B) ASK2 associates physically with COI1 but not with ASK1 in planta. Protein extracts from a control wild-type plant (lane 5) and a transgenic plant expressing the Myc-tagged ASK2 (WT::Myc-ASK2; lane 6) were immunoprecipitated with α-Myc antibody (lanes 7 and 8).
(C) COI1E22A abrogates SCFCOI1. Protein extracts from coi1-1 plants transgenic for vector (coi1-1::Myc; lane 9), Myc-tagged COI1E22A (coi1-1:: Myc-COI1E22A; lane 10), or Myc-tagged COI1 (coi1-1::Myc-COI1; lane 11) were immunoprecipitated with α-Myc antibody (lanes 12 to 14).
The resulting immunoprecipitates were resolved by SDS-PAGE and detected with the indicated antibodies. Molecular mass standards are given in kD. Arrows in (A) and (C) indicate the modified version of AtCUL1. The asterisk in (B) indicates the position of a nonspecific immunoreacting band. Hc, immunoglobulin heavy chain; IP, immunoprecipitate; Lc, immunoglobulin light chain; WT, wild type.
