Figure 4From: The Mre11 protein interacts with both Rad50 and the HerA bipolar helicase and is recruited to DNA following gamma irradiation in the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldariusCo-immunoprecipitation of Rad50, Mre11 and HerA by anti-Rad50 antibodies. (a) Western blot analysis of immuno-precipitates performed on extracts from exponentially growing S. acidocaldarius cells: tot, total extract; pel, chromosomal-enriched fraction; sup, soluble fraction; pDNase, chromosomal-enriched fraction previously treated with DNase I. (b) Western blot analysis of immuno-precipitates performed on a mixture of Rad50, Mre11, HerA and NurA recombinant proteins. C: Western blot control on (a) S. acidocaldarius total extracts and (b) recombinant proteins mixtures. preI: immunoprecipitations with pre-immune antibodies.Back to article page
