FIGURE 5.
Rpn13 co-immunoprecipitates with hybrid proteasome containing the PA28 complex. 293 cells were transiently transfected with the indicated expression plasmids. Total cellular content was revealed directly (lanes 4–6; input) or were subjected to a FLAG affinity purification (lanes 1–3). PA28α-FLAG served as a positive control for the ability to purify hybrid proteasomes as indicated by the presence of 20S (PSMA1) and 19S (PSMD14) subunits. PA28β-HA served as a negative control for the FLAG immunoprecipitation when expressed without PA28α. An asterisk indicates a nonspecific band.
