COG subunits associate with Atg proteins. (A and B) HA-Cog4 (A; WLY208) and HA-Cog2 (B; WLY209) cells transformed with the indicated plasmids expressing tagged Atg proteins were grown in selective SMG medium to OD600 = 1.0. Cell lysates were prepared and subjected to affinity isolation or immunoprecipitation (IP) with either anti-HA or anti-Myc antibody as described in Materials and methods. Plasmids expressing PA (pRS424-CuProtA), PA-tagged Atg17 (pProtA-Apg17(424)), Atg20 (pProtA-Cvt20(424)), Atg24 (pProtA-Cvt13(424)), and Myc-tagged Atg12 (pMyc-Apg12(426)) were used as indicated. The eluted proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and detected with monoclonal anti-HA antibody (A) or immunoblotting with anti-HA and anti-Myc antibodies (B). For each experiment, ∼1% of the total cell lysate or 10% of the total eluate was loaded. WB, Western blot. (C) Cog2-GFP colocalizes with RFP-Ape1 in the MKO (ATG11 ATG19) strain. The MKO (ATG11 ATG19; WLY205) cells expressing chromosomally tagged Cog2-GFP and a plasmid-based RFP-Ape1 were grown in selective SMD to OD600 = 0.8 and observed by fluorescence microscopy. DIC, differential interference contrast. Bar, 2.5 µm.
