In vitro assay for 7S→5.8S pre-rRNA processing in purified pre-60S particles catalysed by the TAP-purified nuclear exosome and cofactors. a Analysis of the protein samples used for the in vitro 7S→5.8S pre-rRNA-processing reaction. Substrate 7S pre-rRNA was part of the pre-60S particles affinity-purified via TAPF-Nop53. Endogenous yeast exosome was affinity-purified via Rrp6-FTpA, and recombinant yeast Mtr4, either wt or the K176A mutant, was expressed and affinity-purified from E. coli. The indicated eluates were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie staining. Marked bands of the exosome were identified by mass spectrometry. b Northern blot for the detection of 7S pre-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA and 5S rRNA species after the in vitro processing reaction. Processing of 7S pre-rRNA from pre-60S particles (TAPF-Nop53) using the endogenous yeast-derived nuclear exosome (FTpA-Rrp6) and its cofactor Mtr4, either wt or K176A mutant, in the presence or absence of ATP. 7S pre-rRNA was detected with two different probes. 5S rRNA served as a loading control
