NHL3-HA in transgenic Arabidopsis is a glycosylated and membrane-associated
protein complex. A, Microsomal fractions of tobacco leaves transiently
expressing NHL3-HA were incubated for 30 min with buffer (M-) or with
PNGase F (M+) and were subjected to western-blot analysis with the anti-HA
antibody. B, Microsomal fractions isolated from leaves of DEX-treated
transgenic NHL3-HA Arabidopsis plants were treated and analyzed as
described in A. C, Higher mobility complexes (arrows) were seen when the
protein extracts were treated with the indicated amount of chemical
crosslinker, 3,3′-dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidylpropionate) (DTSSP) before
western blotting. D, Microsomal fractions isolated from leaves of DEX-treated
transgenic NHL3-HA Arabidopsis plants were treated with the indicated
substances for 1 h at 4°C. Membranes were then pelleted by
ultracentrifugation and the resulting soluble (S) and membrane proteins (M)
were analyzed by western blotting.
