Figure 7.

PDI and BiP are associated in the ER lumen and dissociate in the presence of a folding substrate. a, Wild-type and pdi1 mutant microsomes were incubated in translocation reactions containing pΔgpαf (lanes 1–3) or no translocation substrate (lanes 4–6). At the end of the translocation, DSP cross-linking was performed as described above, followed by solubilization of the membranes, and immunoprecipitation with anti-PDI antiserum. Cross-links in the immunoprecipitate were cleaved with DTT, proteins were resolved on 7.5% SDS gels, and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. BiP was detected by immunoblotting with anti-BiP antiserum (1:1,000) followed by incubation with 125I-protein A and PhosphorImaging. b, Quantitation of the experiment shown in a.
