Recombinantly expressed TAN1 binds to microtubules (MTs). (A) Coomassie-stained SDS PAGE results from microtubule cosedimentation with HIS-TAN1, positive control (microtubule-associated protein fraction [MAPF], 70% MAP2) and negative control (BSA) controls separated into corresponding pellet and soluble fractions. (B) Coomassie-stained SDS-PAGE results from microtubule cosedimentation assay using 2 µM HIS-TAN1 and from 0 to 8 µM tubulin, alternating soluble and pellet fractions. (C) Hyperbolic fit of microtubule cosedimentation data for HIS-TAN1 at varying concentrations of microtubules determines an apparent K0.5 value of 1.08 µM (95% CI, 0.722-1.43 µM), removing the outlier at 4 µM tubulin; error bars are 95% confidence intervals. (D and E) Rhodamine-labeled, Taxol-stabilized microtubule in buffer only control (magenta; D) or incubated with HIS-TAN1-GFP-Atto488 (green). (F and G) Time lapse and kymograph of rhodamine-labeled GMPCPP-stabilized microtubules (magenta) and HIS-TAN1-GFP-Atto488 (green). Scale bars, 10 µm.
