Amino acid sequence of CrUbcE2_1 [SUMO-conjugating enzyme (E2)] from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Supplementary Data Figure 5 5 Supplementary Data Figure 6. Comparison of SUMO and SUMOylated proteins extracted from control and heat shocked C. reinhardtii cells and analyzed by two-dimensional PAGE. SUMO and SUMOylated proteins blotted to nitrocellulose membranes following 2-D PAGE were detected using anti-CrSUMO96 antibodies (top figures) or pre-immune serum (bottom figures). Putative noncongugated SUMO species decreasing after heat shock treatment are noted in thick-walled red boxes. Other SUMOylated proteins decreasing in amounts following heat shock treatment are noted in thin-walled red boxes. SUMOylated proteins markedly increasing following heat shock treatment are enclosed within green boxes. Equal quantities of proteins (400 µg) were loaded on each 2-D gel. Migration and sizes (in kDa) of protein size markers during SDS-PAGE are noted to the left of the images. Supplementary Data Figure 6 6 Supplementary Data Figure 7 Multiple alignment of C. reinhardtii ubiquitins and related proteins XP_001694608 and Cr1794 including two homologs of A. thaliana Rub1 protein. Five of the proteins shown contain tandem duplicates of the ubiquitin domain starting with an [IL][FYK]VKTL motif starting at the third column of both panels of the alignment. Here square brackets indicate possible amino acid substitutions. A variant of the SUMO-binding ΨKXE motif, [ILV]KXK[IV][DEQ][DE] (dark blue) is present in five of the seven proteins, including two copies in Cr140045 and Cr1794. Alternatives to this are six LKCMIDEL and one IKERVEEK motifs. Double-glycine cleavage site motifs are well conserved at the Cterminal positions of the duplicate ubiquitin domains (black boxes). Note that arginines precede all domain-terminal double-glycine motifs. For brevity, the N-terminal segments of XP_001684320 and XP_001702404, and an insertion from Cr195594 close to the Cterminus of the sequence have been omitted. 7
