Toc64 can be cross-linked to other Toc complex subunits. (a) Outer envelope membranes (40 μg protein) were either not treated or treated with 1 mM CuCl2 or 1 mM DSP. (b) High molecular weight cross-links form in a concentration-dependent manner in the presence of CuCl2. Cross-linking was performed for 15 min using the concentrations indicated. Cross-linked products were separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue. Numbers 1 and 3 label identical bands as in a. (c) Prominent cross-linked products (bands 1–4 in a) were cut out of the gel, divided into equal aliquots, and separated by a second SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. Proteins were analyzed either by silverstaining (left panel) or immunoblotting using the antisera indicated (right panel).
