Fig. 5From: Absence of neurological abnormalities in mice homozygous for the Polr3a G672E hypomyelinating leukodystrophy mutationImpact of POLR3A G672E mutation on Pol III function in human cells. a) Immonufluorescence experiment showing the predominant nuclear localization of FLAG-tagged variants of POLR3A (WT or G672E). Scale bar = 20 μm. b) FLAG-tagged variants of POLR3A (WT or G672E) were expressed at equivalent levels in HeLa cells and purified using anti-FLAG affinity chromatography. The co-purified proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS. The heatmap contains the log2-transformed average spectral count ratios of G672E/WT across both replicates. Spectral counts were computed with Mascot. Specific and shared (with Pol I and/or Pol II) subunits are identified on the left. POLR3A (the bait) is identified by an asterisk. c) ChIP-qPCR performed against FLAG-tagged variants POLR3A-WT and POLR3A-G672E expressed transiently at equivalent levels in HEK293 cells. The chromatin was quantified by qPCR with primers for two Pol III target gene promoters (VTRNA1-1 and tRNA-iMet). Pol III enrichment at these loci was calculated relative to a locus on chromosome 13 that is not bound by Pol III. Data are represented as mean +/− SEM of biological triplicatesBack to article page
