FIGURE 9.
Substituted cysteine accessibility method profiles for selected rbMate1 residues (single-Cys replacement in the Δ13C mutant). A, Western blots of the accessibility profiles for selected MATE1 residues. Each three-lane “triplet” displays immunoreactive rbMate1 pulled down through reaction with (from left to right) NHS-biotin (NB), MTS-biotin (MB), or MTS-biotin following permeabilization with saponin (MB/Perm; see text for discussion). Accessibility profiles mapped on the homology model for rbMate1. Blue residues were accessible to MTS-biotin from the extracellular solution; orange residues were accessible to MTS-biotin only after permeabilization of the plasma membrane.
