Holo-TFIIB complex is susceptible to high ionic strength and sediments between TFIID and TFIIH complexes. A, affinity-purified HA-tagged TFIIB and rTFIIB were subjected to sedimentation analysis in 5–30% (v/v) glycerol gradient in 500 mm KCl. Fractions were collected and processed as in Fig. 2. B, affinity-purified preparations of TFIIB (panel i), TBP (panel ii), and Kin28 (panel iii) were subjected to sedimentation analysis in 5–30% (v/v) glycerol gradient in 150 mm KCl as described previously. Fractions were collected, processed as above, and probed for TFIIB and TBP or TFIIB and Kin28.
