Stimulation of translation by PABP in the reconstituted cap-dependent translation system. (A) Rluc, Rluc-A, Cap-Rluc or Cap-Rluc-A RNA (0.1 μM each) was translated in the reconstitution system with or without PABP (1.92 μM). After translation, samples were analyzed by western blotting with an anti-myc antibody (left panel) and Rluc assay (right panel; each column and bar represent the mean and standard deviation of three experiments, respectively). eIF4G (84–1599), which contains the PABP binding site24, was used as eIF4G. (B) Cap-Rluc or Cap-Rluc-A (0.1 μM each) RNA was translated in the reconstitution system with or without PABP or a PABP mutant (M161A)9 (1.92 μM, each) (left panel). These RNAs were also translated with eIF4G (84–1599) or eIF4G (197–1599)24 in the presence or absence of PABP (1.92 μM) (right panel). After translation, Rluc activity was measured. Each column and bar represent the mean and standard deviation three experiments, respectively; the average Rluc activity without PABP was set at 1.0.
