Trm140 interacts with Ses1. (A) SDS-PAGE analysis reveals three polypeptide bands that copurify with Trm140. Strains containing either PGAL-ORF240-PT or PGAL-GLN4-MORF were grown as described in Materials and Methods, ORF240 and Gln4 were affinity purified under conditions identical to those used for pull-down assays, and proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining. Three distinct copurifying bands that were found in the ORF240 preparation (lane 3) are labeled A–C. (B) Chromosomally expressed Ses1-Myc and Trm140-cMORF interact. Trm140 was affinity purified from crude extracts of the indicated strains, using IgG Sepharose and 3C protease cleavage. Crude extract (input) was subjected to immunoblot analysis with anti-HA and anti-(c-myc) antibody, and IgG-purified protein (immunoprecipitate, IP) was analyzed by immunoblot with anti-(c-myc) antibody. (C) Overproduction of ORF240-PT results in increased copurification of Ses1. Trm140 was purified from a chromosomally tagged Trm140-cMORF strain, ORF240 was purified from a strain overexpressing ORF240-PT, and the amount of copurifying Ses1 was compared by immunoblot, as described in B.
