Light scattering analyses of Rab effectors

The following abbreviations are used: MALS, multiangle light scattering; DLS, dynamic light scattering.

Rab-effector complex MALS DLS Ratio
kDa kDa
Rab25(7–180), MBP-FIP2 135 ± 4 (140a) 2:2
Rab25(7–180), FIP2 65 ± 2 (60a ) 2:2
Rab14(7–175), wtRCP (581–649) 49 ± 4 (40b) Intermediate
Rab14(7–175), MBP-FIP2 115 ± 10 (120c) 1:2

a Values in parentheses indicate the expected mass of canonical 2:2 complexes of Rab25-MBP-FIP2 (multiangle light scattering) and Rab25-FIP2 (dynamic light scattering).

b For the dynamic light scattering value for Rab14(7–175), wtRCP(581–649) is best described as “intermediate” between 1:2 and 2:2 complexes. Errors in dynamic light scattering measurements were estimated from 10 data acquisitions. The mean molar mass and associate error for multiangle light scattering were calculated as described under “Experimental Procedures.”

c The multiangle light scattering value in parentheses for Rab14-MBP-FIP2 shows the expected mass of noncanonical 1:2 complexes. Ratio represents the stoichiometry, derived from experimental data that most closely fits the expected value (2:2 versus 1:2).
