(A) TbTRF binds to single stranded UUAGGG repeats directly. EMSA was performed using the recombinant GST-tagged TbTRF2-382 (numbers indicate aa positions) expressed from E.coli (41) and ss(UUAGGG)12 or ss(CCCUAA)12 as the probe. Non-radiolabeled (UUAGGG)12 was added as a competitor. The amount of TbTRF (ng) used is indicated on top of each lane. (BC) TbTRF associates with TERRA in vivo. Cell lysates were incubated with TbTRF antibody (41) (B) or a rabbit anti-GFP antibody (ThermoFisher) (C). RNA was isolated from the IP products and analyzed by slot blot hybridization with a (CCCTAA)n-containing probe. A representative slot blot is shown at the top. Hybridization with an rRNA probe is used as a negative control in (B). The average enrichment of the RNA-IP product was calculated from three slot blot hybridizations and is shown at the bottom. P values of unpaired t-tests are shown in (B) and (C).
