Figure 2: Application of LotAN K6 specificity for UbiCRest analysis.

Figure 2:

A. Kinetic parameters of LotAN (1–300) measured by changes in fluorescence polarization of labeled K6 diUb. Initial rates of diUb cleavage were measured over a range of substrate concentrations and fit to a Michaelis-Menten model. Error bars represent standard deviation over three measurements, each made in triplicate.

B. Gel-based specificity analysis against seven tetraUb linkages. Reactions containing a high concentration (5 μM) of LotAN were sampled at the indicated timepoints, quenched, and resolved by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie staining.

C. Homogeneous assemblies of seven polyUb linkage types were treated with a high concentration (5 μM) of LotAN for 2 h before the reactions were quenched and visualized by anti-Ub Western blot.

D. UbiCRest analysis of an NleL ligase assembly with 1 μM K6-specific LotAN, K11-specific Cezanne, K48-specific OTUB1*, K63-specific AMSH*, nonspecific vOTU, or the indicated combinations. Reactions were visualized by anti-Ub Western blot. Cleavage of NleL-assembled polyUb can be observed by a decrease in the “smear” or by a reappearance of monoUb.

E. UbiCRest analysis of a HUWE1 ligase assembly with 1 μM K6-specific LotAN, K11-specific Cezanne, K48-specific OTUB1*, K63-specific AMSH*, nonspecific vOTU, or the indicated combinations. Reactions were visualized by anti-Ub Western blot. Cleavage of HUWE1-assembled polyUb can be observed by a decrease in the “smear” or by a reappearance of monoUb.
