Characterization of Dgrip75 depletion by RNAi. (A) Analysis of protein depletion by Western blot. Total protein extracts of control or treated cells (Dgrip75RNAi) were analyzed using Dgrip75 affinity–purified antibodies and antibodies against Dgrip84, γ-tubulin, or actin (internal loading control). (B) Analysis of protein depletion by immunofluorescence. a and b, microtubules; c and d, Dgrip75 signal. A quantitative view is shown in Table I. (C) Analysis of γ-tubulin complexes after Dgrip75 depletion. Total protein extracts prepared from control or treated cells (Dgrip75RNAi) were centrifuged in a sucrose gradient. Soluble fractions were analyzed by immunoblotting against γ-TuRC components. (D) Recruitment of γ-TuSC components into the cytoskeletal fraction after Dgrip75 depletion. Total protein extracts (T) of control or treated cells (Dgrip75RNAi) were centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 g. Then, the supernatants (S) and the pellets (P) were analyzed by immunoblotting with antibodies against Dgrip91, Dgrip84, γ-tubulin, and Dgrip75. Bar, 5 μm.
