Fig. 1. Complex stoichiometry and functional analysis of shcis-PT.

Fig. 1

a Dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthesis reaction scheme. The IPP moiety is colored red. The hcis-PT subunits DHDDS and NgBR are schematically drawn and colored blue and yellow, respectively. b Representative SEC-MALS analysis of the purified shcis-PT. The black and red curves indicate UV absorption and molecular mass, respectively. The experiment was performed twice using two different protein batches. Inset: SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified complex. Left lane: molecular weight marker, right lane: purified shcis-PT. Molecular weights (kDa) are indicated. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. c Native ESI-MS spectrum obtained using low activation conditions. The main distribution corresponds to the heterotetramer (charge states 21–26). Inset: SDS-PAGE analysis of the complex following glutaraldehyde cross-linking. Left lane: molecular weight marker, middle lane: purified shcis-PT without glutaraldehyde, and right lane: purified shcis-PT with glutaraldehyde. Molecular weights (kDa) are indicated. The experiment was performed twice using two different protein batches. The oligomeric state represented by each state is illustrated using the schematic presentation from panel (a). Source data are provided as a Source Data file. d In vitro activity of purified shcis-PT assessed as IPP incorporation. Experiments were performed as described in the “Methods” section. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3 independent experiments). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
