AEG-1 associates with actively translating mRNAs. (A) Schematic of experimental protocol for examining AEG-1 RNA-binding activity by ultracentrifugation analysis. Cell lysates were ultracentrifuged subsequent to RNase or control digestion. The polysome fraction (ribosome pellet) was analyzed by immunoblot. (B) Immunoblot analysis of AEG-1, poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), and ribosomal protein (RPL17) in the pellet fraction with/without RNase digestion. (C) Schematic of experimental protocol for the analysis of mRNA-binding activity of AEG-1 by polyribosome profiling. (D) Immunoblot analysis of AEG-1 and ribosomal protein (RPL17) in sucrose density gradient fractions. (E) Mobility of AEG-1 in sucrose density gradient velocity sedimentation in control (−EDTA) or after polyribosome disassembly (+EDTA). Immunoblot analysis of the lysosomal membrane protein NPC1 is illustrated as a membrane protein control.
