Figure 1. imp7 and Additional Cytosolic Factors Support RTC Nuclear Import.

Figure 1

(A) Western blot showing depletion of both imp7 and Ran in the supernatant (60S) of the 60% AS precipitation step and depletion of imp7 but not Ran from the 60% AS precipitation pellet (60P) after low-substitution Phenyl-Sepharose chromatography (d60P).

(B) Nuclear import in permeabilized HeLa cells in the presence of labelled RTCs, 1× energy-regenerating system and buffer (panel ctr−), 1μM imp7 + 1× Ran mix (panel imp7), 0.5 mg/ml of the pellet (panel 60P) or supernatant (panel 60S) fractions from the 60% AS precipitation step, or 60P after low-substitution Phenyl-Sepharose chromatography (panel d60P). Images were acquired by confocal microscopy using the same settings. Scale bar indicates 25 μm.
