Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Oligomerization of -catenin 385-651 and its N- and C-terminal subdomains. Fragments at the indicated concentrations were incubated with a 30-fold excess of cross-linker. For the two amine-reactive cross-linking reagents BS3 and DMS with spacer arms of 11.4 and 11.0 Å, respectively, different cross-linking efficiency was observed. Higher cross-linking efficiency results are shown here and were obtained with DMS in the case of -catenin 507-632 and BS3 for -catenin 385-651 and -catenin 385-507. The first lane for the -catenin 385-651 fragment shows a sample in the absence of cross-linker. Molecular mass markers are indicated on the left of each gel, and apparent molecular mass of the fragments and cross-linking products are shown on the right.
