G3BP1 and Caprin1 directly interact with PKR. (A) Purified inactive PKR (PKR) or active PKR (P-PKR) were incubated in the presence of MBP-tagged MS2 or MBP-tagged G3BP1 deletion mutants, as indicated, and precipitated with amylose resin. Precipitated material was examined with Western blotting for total PKR. (B) MBP precipitations were performed as described for panel A with either MBP-tagged MS2 or G3BP1. Reactions were performed in the presence of ATP with or without poly(I:C) to induce a conformational change in PKR protein. (C) Purified Caprin1 and either inactive PKR (PKR) or active PKR (P-PKR) were incubated together. IPs were performed with protein A-Sepharose and either nonspecific IgG or Caprin1 antibodies, as indicated. Precipitates were analyzed by Western blotting for Caprin1 or total PKR. Relative amounts of PKR and P-PKR inputs are shown with different Western blot exposures (separated by a black line).
