Kap114 binds to histones H2A and H2B in the cytoplasm. (a) Kap114-PrA and associated proteins were isolated from cytosol by IgG-Sepharose, eluted with a MgCl2 gradient, separated by SDS-PAGE, and visualized by Coomassie blue staining. The bands representing Kap114-PrA, TBP and histones H2A and H2B are indicated. (b) Cells expressing either H2A-PrA or H2B-PrA were fixed and the PrA moiety detected by indirect immunofluorescence. The coincident DAPI staining is shown. (c) H2A-PrA and associated proteins were isolated from cytosol. Bands representing Kap114p, Nap1p, H2A-PrA, and H2B are indicated. (d) H2B-PrA and associated proteins were isolated as described. Bands representing Kap114p, Nap1p, and H2B-PrA are indicated. Positions of molecular mass standards in kilodaltons are shown.
