Binding of Cwc2 to snRNAs in vitro. (A) SDS–PAGE analysis of purified, His-tagged, Cwc2 (lane 2). Molecular weight markers (lane 1) are indicated to the left of the panel in KiloDaltons. (B) EMSA using 32P end-labeled RNAs that are indicated below the panel. RNA was incubated without (−) and with (+) 4.5 µM Cwc2-His, then complexes were resolved on 5% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. (C) Increasing concentrations of Cwc2-His protein were incubated with fixed amounts of the individual snRNAs indicated below the panels. Concentrations of Cwc2-His are indicated above each panel. Complexes were resolved on 5% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels.
