Mitochondrial localization of MIT proteins. Confocal images of onion peel epidermis transiently transformed with (A) 35S-MIT1-YFP and (B) 35S-MIT2-YFP constructs. The cells were co-stained with the mitochondria specific marker, MitoTracker Orange. (C) Mitochondria were purified from 2-week-old ArabidopsisMIT1-YFP-HA, MIT2-YFP-HA and the empty vector (EV-YFP-HA) transgenic lines grown on B5 media. 25 µg of the purified protein was separated by the SDS-PAGE. The localization of MIT1 and MIT2 was tested by immunoblotting with an anti-HA antibody. The chloroplast fraction (comprised of broken thylakoids/chloroplasts) separated from the mitochondrial fraction during ultracentrifugation were used as a control. The purity of the mitochondria was tested by immunoblotting the purified mitochondria against different cellular markers including COX2 and IDH (mitochondrial proteins), Actin (cytosolic protein), PSB-a (chloroplast protein) and Histone3 (nuclear protein). Ponceau S-stained proteins were used as a loading control. Note: the chloroplast MIT1-YFP-HA lane is overloaded relative to the MIT2-YFP-HA and EV-YFP-HA lanes.
