A, 15% SDS-PAGE analysis. Lane 1, VoV1; lane 2, Vo; lane 3 V1; lane 4, CL12; lane 5, DF. Molecular weights of each subunit are indicated in parentheses. B, 6% AES-PAGE. The mixtures containing the subcomplexes were incubated for 1h at 25°C respectively, prior to analysis. Lane 1, VoV1; lane 2, Vo; lane 3, V1; lane 4, CL12; lane 5, Vo and V1; lane 6, V1 and CL12; lane 7, DF and Vo, lane 8; DF. The band of DF complex was not detected on AES-PAGE gel. C, Gel permeation analysis of complexes and subcomplexes. The mixtures containing subcomplexes indicated by the scheme were incubated for 1h at 25°C respectively, followed by analysis. The molecular weights of each complex are, VoV1 (659kDa), Vo (268kDa), V1 (391 kDa), CL12 (131 kDa) and V1-DF (37 kDa). D, FRET analysis of reconstituted complexes and subcomplexes. Fluorescence of 3 nM V1-Cy3 (purple and green lines) or 3 nM V1-DF-Cy3 (blue and red lines) was recorded (excitation at 532nm) before and after addition of Vo-Cy5 or CL12-Cy5. The Vo-Cy5 or CL12-Cy5 was added at the time indicated by the arrow.
