Figure 4From: Nucleocapsid formation and RNA synthesis of Marburg virus is dependent on two coiled coil motifs in the nucleoproteinMapping of regions on NP involved in binding to VP35. (A) Schematic presentation of the constructed mutants of NP with C-terminal truncations. (B) The constructed plasmids were in vitro translated, metabolically labeled using [35S]ProMix, separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed using a BioImager. (C) In vitro translated and metabolically labeled mutants of NP were incubated with bacterially expressed GST-VP35 or GST (negative control). Complexes were pulled down with glutathion-sepharose, separated on SDS PAGE and analyzed using a BioImager. Binding of NP to GST-VP35 was set to 100%. (D) Quantification of 3 separate experiments as shown under (C).Back to article page
