Isolation and characterization of temperature sensitive mutants of Tim50. (A) Serial dilutions of Tim50 WT and mutant cells were grown for 5 days at the indicated temperature on SCD (-Leu) and SCG plates. (B) Accumulation of the precursor form of Hsp60 in wild type and mutant cells was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblot with Hsp60 antibodies, as described under Methods. (C) Mitochondria isolated from WT cells, or from cells expressing indicated His tagged versions of Tim50 were solubilized with 1% digitonin and incubated with Ni-NTA agarose beads at 4 °C. Following washing steps, specifically bound proteins were eluted with Laemmli buffer containing 300 mM imidazole. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with Tim50, Tim17 and Tim23 antibodies. T, UB, 10% of total and unbound material. B, 100% of bound material. Binding of Tim23 was quantified from three independent experiments for His-tagged WT, L194H, A221D/D337V, N283Y/D293N and D2787V/R339S mitochondria and from two for His#1 and His#2 mitochondria. The efficiency of Tim23 binding to Ni-NTA agarose beads with mitochondria isolated from cells expressing His-tagged but otherwise WT version of Tim50 was set to 100%.
