Ubiquitylation of p57Kip2 by the recombinant
SCFSkp2 complex in vitro. (A) The recombinant
SCFSkp2 complex purified from Sf21 insect cell lysates was analyzed
by SDS/PAGE and staining with Coomassie brilliant blue. The positions of the
various epitope-tagged recombinant proteins are indicated.
(B-D) The recombinant SCFSkp2 complex was assayed
for the ability to mediate the ubiquitylation of p57Kip2
(B), p27Kip1 (C), or HIF-1α
(D) in the presence of ATP, Uba1, UbcH5A, and GST-ubiquitin (Ub), and
in the absence or presence of the recombinant cyclin E-CDK2 complex or Cks1.
Reaction products were subjected to immunoblot analysis with Abs to
p57Kip2 (B), p27Kip1
(C), or HPC4 (D).
