    CCR4 requires CAF1 to immunoprecipitate NOT proteins. Immunoprecipitations with CCR4 antibody were conducted incaf1 (A792, pop2) and wild-type (A790) strains. Lanes 1 and 2, protein extracts from strains A790 and A792, respectively; lanes 3 and 4, immunoprecipitated (Ip) proteins analyzed by Western analysis using antibodies directed against NOT1 through NOT5 and CCR4. The NOT1 antibody used in these experiments could not detect NOT1 protein in crude (cr.) extracts (lanes 1 and 2), but other results indicate that NOT1 is present in both CAF1- andcaf1-containing strains (20).

    CCR4 associates with CAF1 in the absence ofNOT3, NOT4, NOT5, and the N-terminal 396 residues of NOT1. (A) Immunoprecipitations (Ip) were conducted with anti-CCR4 antibody. Western analysis was conducted with antibody directed against NOT1, NOT3, CCR4, NOT4, CAF1, NOT2, or NOT5 as indicated. An enhanced chemiluminescence-based system was used for NOT1, CCR4, and NOT5 Western blots for lanes 1 to 4, whereas an alkaline phosphatase-based system was used for the remainder of the results. Strains: wild type (wt), KY803; not1-2, MY8;not3, MY508; not4, MY537; not5, MY1735. (B) Yeast extracts from KY803 (wild type [wt]), 1393-4a (not2), and MY1735 (not5) were analyzed by gel filtration chromatography using a Superose 6 10/30 column. The protein extracts were precleared by centrifugation at 100,000 × g for 1 min, and 200 μl of sample was loaded onto the column. The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min, and a 0.5-ml volume was collected in each fraction; 100 μl from each fraction were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting using CCR4 and CAF1 antibodies. Molecular weight markers for the gel filtration experiment were blue dextran (2 × 106 Da), thyroglobulin (0.67 × 106 Da), and bovine serum albumin (6.6 × 104 Da). (C) Immunoprecipitations were conducted in strain MY1737 [not1 pNOT1(396–2108)] and wild-type backgrounds with CAF1 antibody. Lanes 1 and 2 contain 1/10 of the crude extract (Cr. Ex.) protein input used for the immunoprecipitations (Ip) in lanes 3 and 4. Western analysis was conducted with anti-CCR4 and anti-NOT antibodies as indicated. NOT4 and NOT2 proteins in the crude extracts in lanes 1 and 2 were visible in the original Western blots and were in equal abundance for the two strains. IgG, immunoglobulin G.

    Localization of the NOT1 protein region that is sufficient for binding CCR4. (A) LexA-NOT1(667–1152) is sufficient for binding to CCR4 and CAF1. LexA-NOT1 fusions as indicated were expressed in strain EGY188, and immunoprecipitations were conducted with anti-CCR4 antibody. Western analysis was conducted with anti-LexA antibody. The crude protein extracts in lanes 1 to 5 contain 1/10 of the amount of extract used for the immunoprecipitations (Ip) displayed in lanes 6 to 10, respectively. IgG, immunoglobulin G. (B) The C terminus of NOT1 binds NOT2, NOT4, and NOT5. Strain EGY188 containing either LexA-NOT1(1–1152) or LexA-NOT1(1490–2108) was immunoprecipitated with LexA antibody. Western analysis using the antibodies as indicated was conducted as detailed in Fig. 1. Cr. Ex., crude extract.

Gel filtration chromatography was conducted as described for Fig. 2B. Anti-CCR4 antibody was used to detect the CCR4 protein.

    CCR4, CAF1, and NOT5 protein levels in notmutant backgrounds. All strains were grown to mid-log phase in YEP medium containing 5% glucose. Cells were harvested and lysed, and 40 μg of total protein was loaded in each lane. The RNA helicase homolog DHH1 was used as an internal control to demonstrate equivalent loading on the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. Strains used: KY803 (wild type [wt]); MY8 (not1-2); MY1737 [not1pNOT1(396–2108)]; MY1738 [not1pNOT1(1319–2108)]; MY16 (not2-1); 1393-4a (not2); MY508 (not3); MY537 (not4); MY1735 (not5). Western blot analysis was conducted with antibodies directed against CCR4, CAF1, NOT5, and DHH1 as indicated.

    NOT5 coimmunoprecipitates with NOT2 in the absence of CAF1, NOT3, and NOT4. (A) LexA-NOT5 immunoprecipitates NOT2 in the absence of CAF1, NOT3, and NOT4. Immunoprecipitations (Ip) were conducted with anti-LexA antibody, and Western analysis used antibodies as indicated; LexA-NOT5 is full-length NOT5 fused to LexA(1–202). Lanes: 1, KY803 (wild type [wt]); 2, KY803-c1 (caf1); 3, MY508 (not3); 4, MY537 (not4). In the original Western blots, CCR4 was immunoprecipitated in lane 3. (B) NOT5 antibody immunoprecipitates NOT2. Antibody against CCR4 (lane 1) or NOT5 (lane 2) was used for immunoprecipitations from strain KY803. (C) NOT3 immunoprecipitates NOT1, NOT2, and NOT5 in the absence of CCR4, CAF1, and NOT4. Anti-NOT3 antibody was used to conduct the immunoprecipitations. WT (wild type), strain KY803; ccr4, KY803-1; caf1, KY803-c1; not4, MY537. Western analysis was conducted as detailed above.

    Model for protein contacts in the CCR4-NOT complex. Based on the results presented herein, CAF1 is presumed to bind to residues 667 to 1152 of NOT1, CCR4 binds to CAF1, and NOT2 and NOT5 interact with the C-terminal residues 1490 to 2108 of NOT1 in no particular order. NOT4 is placed on the periphery of NOT2 and NOT5, and it is presumed that NOT3 makes contacts with both NOT2, NOT5, or NOT4 and the N terminus of NOT1.
