FIGURE 1.

Native immunopurified subcomplexes of MRB1 with either H2 or 3010 subunits. (A) Western analysis of H2 and 3010 in IPs by the indicated antibodies, and in mitochondrial extract (ME). H2 (∼240 kDa) is often fragmented, and 3010 (57.5 kDa) migrates slightly below IgG in the IPs. A fainter band below 3010 is a breakage product of this protein in ME (*). The blot was split into halves treated with either anti-H2 or anti-3010 antibodies. (B) Western analysis of the RECC subunit REL1 ligase in IPs and ME. (C) [32P]G-capping of gRNA 5′ triphosphate with guanylyltransferase on 15% UREA-PAGE to concentrate gRNA in a discrete band. (D) Western analysis of the MRB1 subunit GAP1 in test and mock IPs. Mock IPs (Mk) used an irrelevant affinity-purified antibody. (E) Site-specific crosslinking of H2 and 3010 IPs with a pre-edited mRNA construct whose first editing site contains 32P in its phosphodiester bond and 4-thioU in the flanking 5′ nucleotide. After RNase trimming, the protein-RNA adducts were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE. (F) Crosslinks as in E, but on a high-resolution 6% SDS-PAGE. Native (wt) and ectopic (tagged) H2 differ in mobility due to an ∼20 kDa tag. Tagged H2 was affinity-purified (AP). Intact and fragmented H2 are marked. Molecular markers are in kDa. All IPs (200 mM KCl, 5% BSA) used precleared extract.
