Cell lysates were fractionated on a S300 Sephacryl column. The presence of pERK, raf-1, β-arrestin-1, and PAR2 in each fraction was determined by Western blotting (inset). PAR2 was detected using HA.11 antibody in KNRK cells and 2N antibody in hBRIE cells. Results are expressed as a percentage of the total protein for each partition coefficient (σ) ( n = 3). The bracketed columns represent regions where proteins coeluted. Representative Western blots are shown of fractions containing the complex in KNRK-PAR2 cells (★, σ = 0.34), hBRIE cells (⋆, σ = 0.31–34), and in KNRK-PAR2+ARR 319-418 -GFP (*, σ = 0.45).
