Pull-down assays. (A) and (B) G-quadruplex motifs of the MMP16 (A) and ARPC2 (B) mRNAs were coupled to streptavidin agarose beads. Whole-cell extract of HEK293 cells was added to the beads. After several washing steps, proteins were eluted with buffers containing the indicated K+-concentrations. Proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Proteins that bind exclusively to the G-quadruplex-sequence (Q) are indicated. GQ-M represents an independent experiment, in which the HEK293 extract was first incubated with the mutated oligonucleotide and then with the G-quadruplex-forming RNA. The indicated proteins were identified by MS-based peptide mass fingerprinting. (C) Pull-down assay with the additional ARPC2 control oligonucleotide with two G-stretches (ARPC2–2xG). 1.

SRSF1 (28 kDa) RPS6 (29 kDa); 11. RPL7 (29 kDa); 12. SRSF9 (26 kDa), RPS6 (29 kDa); 13. SRSF9 (26 kDa), RPL14 (23,5 kDa); 14. RPL10 (25 kDa) RPS9 (23 kDa); 15. RPL26 (17 kDa); 16. RPL27a (17 kDa); 17. RPS9 (23 kDa); a. Actin (42 kDa); b. hnRNPA3 (39 kDa); c. hnRNPA2B1 (37 kDa) and hnRNPA3 (39 kDa); d. hnRNPA2B1 (37 kDa); e. hnRNPA1 (39 kDa); f. YB-1 (36 kDA); g. YB-1/Actin (36 kDa, 42 kDa).
