Bars on top indicate the positions of the gk199 deletion, the peptides used to prepare serum 3663 and 3665 antibodies against matefin, and the anti-erbB-2 IgG domain. T1 and T2, putative transmembrane regions 1 and 2, respectively; CC, coiled-coil domain; SUN, SUN domain. (B) Western blot of crude protein extract of mixed stage C. elegans animals probed with preimmune (P) or immune (I) serum 3665. (C) Indirect immunofluorescence double-staining of embryos by using antibodies specific for Ce-lamin plus either the N terminus (serum 3663, Lower) or C terminus (serum 3665, Upper) of endogenous matefin. Please note that although both embryonic and adult nuclei are stained with Ce-lamin, only the embryonic nuclei are stained with matefin (Upper). (Bars, 10 μm.) (D) Immunogold TEM localization of the matefin N terminus (serum 3663) on peripheral chromatin in detergent-extracted nuclei. Fragments of remaining nuclear outer membrane (OM) and inner membrane (IM) are indicated. Arrows indicate the position of the 6-nm gold labeling. (Bar, 100 nm.) (E) Equal amounts of protein, as determined by Bradford assay, were resolved by SDS/PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, stained with Ponceau S, and probed with either 35S-matefin or 35S-Ce-lamin. Please note that Ponceau S staining does not always correspond to Bradford assay results. Numbered gel lanes contain the following polypeptides: 1, Ce-emerin (residues 1-130); 2, the C-terminal globular domain of Ce-lamin (residues 440-566); 3, Ce-MAN1 (residues 400-500); 4, BSA; 5, Ce-lamin; 6, matefin; 7, matefin N-terminal domain (residues 1-111); 8, matefin C-terminal domain (residues 129-473).
