Figure 1.

Free ubiquitin and ubiquitinated proteins are present in the flagella of C. reinhardtii. (A) Isolated flagella (F) were extracted with the indicated concentration of NP-40, and the soluble membrane/matrix (M) and insoluble axonemal (Ax) fractions were analyzed on immunoblots probed with an antibody to ubiquitin (Ub; P4G7; Covance). A Coomassie blue–stained gel (CB) of the loaded proteins is shown at the bottom. Monomeric ubiquitin is 7 kD. (B) Immunoblot analysis shows that HA∷ubiquitin is present in the flagella and membrane/matrix of the strain CRH21, which harbors the HA∷ubiquitin transgene. No signal of HA∷ubiquitin was present in wild-type (WT) flagella. A Coomassie blue–stained gel of the loaded proteins is shown at the bottom. Mobilities of prestained molecular mass standards are indicated in kilodaltons.
