Figure 3. Mass Spectrometry Confirms the Linkage Specificity of Apu2.07 and Apu3.A8 in Immunoprecipitations
(A–D) BJAB cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with Apu2.07, Apu3.A8, or an isotype control antibody recognizing HER2. Mass spectrometry was used to determine the total amount of ubiquitin immunoprecipitated (A) as well as the polyubiquitin linkages in the lysate (B) and immunoprecipitates (C and D).
(E) MuRF1 autoubiquitination reactions performed in vitro with WT, K48R, or K63R ubiquitin were immunoprecipitated with Apu2.07, Apu3.A8, or isotype control. Numbers in parentheses indicate the relevant lanes and columns in (F)–(I).
(F) Autoubiquitination reactions and immunoprecipitations depicted in (E) were western blotted with a pan-ubiquitin antibody. The hatched red lines indicate the portion of the gel that was cut out and subjected to analysis by mass spectrometry.
(G–I) Mass spectrometry was used to determine the polyubiquitin linkages in the autoubiquitination reactions and immunoprecipitations depicted in (E).
