P473L protein forms elevated levels of ATP-independent cleavage
complexes in the presence of mAMSA. ATP-dependent (A) and
ATP-independent (B) cleavage complex formation was assessed using a
gel cleavage assay in the presence of 5 μg/ml mAMSA. The amount of added
protein is indicated in micrograms above each lane. The
lane labeled Sc contains supercoiled pUC18, and the
lane labeled L contains pUC18 DNA linearized by EcoRI.
WT, wild-type. The mobilities of nicked (N), linear
(L), and supercoiled (Sc) are indicated to the
right of each gel. Note that in this experiment, unlike those shown
in Figs. 8 and
9, the same mass of each enzyme
was added, as indicated.
