Figure 4.

Effects of BuGZ phase separation on AurA binding. (A and B) Purified YFP-xBuGZ or YFP-xBuGZΔN58 was incubated to allow coacervation in the presence of purified mCherry-xAurA (A) or mCherry (B). Bars, 10 µm. (C) Purified YFP, YFP-xBuGZ, or YFP-xBuGZ13S were incubated with purified GST or GST-xAurA at RT or 4°C followed by GST pulldown, Western blotting (0.1% of total reaction and 10% of total YFP-xBuGZ and YFP-xBuGZ13S pulldowns were analyzed), and Coomassie Brilliant blue (CBB) staining (1% of the total reaction and 10% of total pulldowns were analyzed). (D) Schematic of droplet spindown assay. (E–G) Quantification of YFP-xBuGZ and xAurA (E), YFP-xBuGZΔN58 and xAurA (F), and YFP-xBuGZ13S and xAurA (G) in the pellets (X axis) against the initial input xBuGZ proteins (Y axis). Error bars indicate SEM.
