Golgi elements interact with vimentin filaments in vitro. (A) Recombinant vimentin alone (Vimentin only) or recombinant vimentin incubated with isolated Golgi elements (Vimentin + Golgi) were loaded at the bottom of a sucrose density gradient and subjected to equilibrium centrifugation. An equivalent amount of each fraction was processed by SDS-PAGE, transferred to NC, and immunoblotted with antivimentin and anti-GM130 antibodies. Vimentin remains in the load when centrifuged alone but is recovered in a lower density fraction containing the Golgi marker GM130 when incubated with Golgi elements. (B) Fractions 3 and 4 from A were combined, loaded at the bottom of a sucrose density gradient, and subjected to another round of equilibrium centrifugation. Fractions were collected and analysed as in A. Vimentin remains associated with Golgi elements.
