Figure Lengend Snippet: Rvb1 and Rvb2 interact directly with Hsp90. A, Hsp90 copurifies with Rvb1/2 complexes purified from S. cerevisiae. Average dBNSAF values for Hsp90 are from the 3 biological replicates; error bars are standard deviation. B, recombinant Hsp90 expressed in Sf21 cells interacts with recombinant Rvb1/2 in the absence of other yeast proteins. Sf21 cells coinfected with baculoviruses encoding His-TEV-Rvb1, FLAG-Rvb2 and Halo-TEV-Hsp90 were prepared as described in Experimental Procedures. Affinity purifications were performed as shown in the purification scheme and various fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and proteins visualized by staining with Coomassie Blue R-250. In addition, Western blot (on fraction F) and mass spectrometry (fraction K) analyses were performed to test for the presence of Rvb1, Rvb2 and Hsp90. Please note because one gel had high background, we scanned the Coomassie stained gel as a black and white image using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging system (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE), which improves the resolution of the gel. C, interaction between purified recombinant Hsp90 mixed with either purified Rvb1 or Rvb2. Sf21 cells were infected with baculoviruses encoding affinity tagged Rvb1, Rvb2 or Hsp90 and these proteins were affinity purified individually. Samples containing ∼50 μg of each protein were mixed and incubated for 30 min at room temperature in the combinations indicated. Mixtures were subjected to either His (Ni-NTA) purification or FLAG purification, the indicated fractions analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and proteins visualized by staining with Coomassie Blue R-250. Elution fractions from all 3 purifications (fractions M, N and O) were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis to confirm the presence of proteins of interest. Abbreviations: FT = flow through; W = wash; E = elution. Color coded arrows represent proteins presented in the purification scheme.
Article Snippet: Rvb1 contained TEV (tobacco etch virus) protease cleavable 6xHis tag, Rvb2 contained FLAG tag and Hsp90 contained TEV protease cleavable Halo tag (Promega, Madison, WI) at their respective N termini.
