Dim2 interacts with Utp14, an activator of Dhr1 helicase. a 2-hybrid interaction between Dim2 and Utp14. Yeast 2-hybrid analysis of three individual transformants, harboring the indicated bait (BD) and prey (AD) plasmids. Transformants were analyzed by growth on SDC-Leu-Trp (plating efficiency) and SDC-Leu-Trp-Ade plates (strong interaction). SV40 and p53 served as negative controls. The growth was analyzed after 2 days at 30 °C. b Reconstitution of ctDim2-Utp1-Utp14-Dhr1 complexes. The indicated dimeric ctDim2-Utp14 and trimeric ctDim2-Utp1-Utp14 and ctDim2-Utp14-Dhr1 complexes using Chaetomium thermophilum proteins were assembled by co-expression in yeast followed by split-tag tandem affinity-purification. The reconstituted complexes were analyzed via SDS-PAGE (4–12%) and Coomassie staining. c Yeast strains GAL::scDIM2 with integrated scDhr1-FTpA or scUtp14-FTpA were grown in galactose (GAL) medium or shifted for 8 h to glucose (GLU) containing medium before the indicated bait proteins were tandem affinity-purified in two consecutive steps involving the ProtA—in the first and the Flag-tag in the second step. TCA-precipitated Flag eluates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (4–12%) and Coomassie staining (upper panel) or western blotting (lower panel) using the indicated antibodies. The indicated protein bands were identified via mass spectrometry. d Final eluates derived from scDhr1-FTpA tandem affinity-purification under conditions of Dim2 expression (GAL) and depletion (GLU, 8 h), respectively, were analyzed by sucrose gradient (15–40%) centrifugation. Gradient fractions (1–14) were TCA-precipitated and analyzed by SDS-PAGE (4–12%) and Coomassie staining (upper panels) and western blotting against Dhr1-Flag (lower panels, long and short exposure times are depicted). The experiments were performed at least twice with consistent results. Uncropped images are shown in Supplementary Fig. 9. L load, S molecular weight protein standard, E eluate
