Figure 8.

G3BP1 and G3BP2 selectively associate with dissociated 40S ribosomal subunits. (A) Western blot of IPs from cells expressing either GFP (lanes 1–3) or RPS6-GFP (lanes 4–6), lysed in either ribosome-dissociating (EE) or ribosome-stabilizing (+5.0 mM MgCl2) buffer, washed, and incubated with RNase A or buffer. Released material was concentrated using acetone precipitation before SDS treatment; the bound material (GFP-IP) was eluted in SDS. IPs, lanes 1–6; released material, lanes 8–13. Mr (kD) are shown. (B) Stably expressed GFP-RPS6 in U2OS-WT cells, or GFP, GFP-tagged G3BP1 variants, or G3BP2a stably expressed in ΔΔG3BP1/2 cells were lysed in ribosome-dissociating EE or in ribosome stabilizing (EE + 7 mM MgCl2) buffer and immunoprecipitated and Western blotted as indicated. Mr (kD) are shown.
