The microtubule-associated protein MAP 1 A is a
component of complex 1. (A) Radiolabeled GAP A was incubated with brain
protein extract in the presence of antibodies to several cytoskeletal
components and electrophoresed through a 6% nondenaturing
polyacrylamide gel. For each probe, control lanes with probe alone,
probe with antibody alone, and probe with extract alone are shown to
the left of the experimental lanes containing probe, extract, and
antibody. The single asterisk indicates the position of complex 1, and
the double asterisk indicates the position of the supershifted complex
1. (B) GAP A, GAP B, GAP C, antisense GAP A, antisense GAP C, gap a,
gap b, and gap c RNA probes were incubated with brain protein extract
in the presence of antibodies that recognize MAP 1A. The first two
lanes for each of the gap a, gap b, and gap c probes are identical to
those shown in Figure 3c. The single asterisk denotes complex 1, while
the double asterisk denotes the supershifted complex 1, indicating the
presence of MAP 1A.
