Fig. 2. The RQT complex interacts with the K63-linked ubiquitin chain via two accessory proteins.

a Domain structure of each component of the RQT complex. b Schematic of the experiments. c, e, g Purification of the complex containing the indicated RQT factors. Different combinations of the indicated RQT factors were co-expressed in yeast cells. The complex was affinity-purified via Slh1-Flag-TEV-protein A using IgG magnetic beads. Copurified RQT factors were separated by 8% Nu-PAGE and detected by Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) staining or immunoblotting using an anti-Flag antibody. d, f, h Pull-down assay of the RQT complex with the K63- or K48-linked tetraubiquitin chain. The complex containing the indicated RQT factors was immobilized on IgG magnetic beads and mixed with the K63- or K48-linked tetraubiquitin chain. After binding and washing steps (as indicated in 2b), the proteins in the final elution were separated by 10% Nu-PAGE and detected by CBB staining or immunoblotting using an anti-ubiquitin antibody. All experiments were performed at least twice with highly reproducible results.
