Binding of the PRPF31 protein to 5′ stem–loop RNA-15.5K protein complexes. (A) Labeled wild type (Wt) or mutant U4atac 5′ stem–loop RNAs were incubated with 15.5K protein and different amounts of PRPF31 protein. In each panel, lane 1 is RNA only; lane 2 is RNA plus 15.5K protein; lane 6 is RNA plus PRPF31 protein, and lanes 35 are reactions containing the listed fold excess of PRPF31 protein to the RNA-15.5K complex. The positions of free RNA, RNA-15.5K complex, and PRPF31-15.5K-RNA complex (dotted regions), are indicated in the figure. (B) Plot showing the percentage amounts of supershifted RNA-15.5K complex. Using ImageJ, the amounts of RNA shifted by 15.5K protein and the amounts of RNA supershifted (dotted region) by 15.5K + PRPF31 proteins were measured for each titration. The percentage of supershifted RNAs was calculated for each titration and normalized to wild type, which was set to 100%.
