FEZ1 and JIP1 cooperate to activate Kinesin-1 in vitro. (A) COS cell lysates expressing the indicated proteins were immunoblotted with antibodies to the Flag tag (top) or to FEZ1 and the myc and HA tags (bottom). (B) The indicated lysates were mixed and immunoprecipitated (IP) with antibodies to KHC or the Flag tag or to no primary antibody as a control (−). Precipitates were immunoblotted with antibodies to the Flag tag (top), FEZ1 (middle), or myc and HA tags (bottom). (C) MT-binding assay as in Fig. 1 C. MT pellets were immunoblotted with antibodies to the Flag tag (top), FEZ1 (middle), or myc and HA tags (bottom). T, ATP; N, AMPPNP. (B and C) Panels are from different parts of the same gel. (D–F) Single-molecule motility assay. (D) Myc-KHC + 3xmCit-KLC lysates were mixed with lysates of mock-transfected cells (left) or cells expressing Flag-JIP1 and FEZ1-hsv (right). Representative motile events along Cy5-labeled MTs are shown in the kymographs (13 frames; 100-ms intervals). Bar, 1.0 μm. (E) Speed histogram. Myc-KHC + 3xmCit-KLC motors activated by JIP1 and FEZ1 move at a mean speed of 0.71 ± 0.31 μm/s (n = 47). Data are pooled from three separate experiments. (F) Single exponential decay fitting (red line) of the run length histogram shows that the same motors move processively for 0.46 ± 0.05 μm/run.
