A–D In vitro hRQT complex-mediated subunit disassociation assay of K63-linked polyubiquitinated ribosomes. Isolated RNCs generated by XBP1u staller mRNA were ubiquitinated by ZNF598 with either Ub-K63R (A, B) or Ub-K63only (C, D). The ubiquitinated RNCs were incubated with (B, D) or without (A, C) the hRQT complex. After hRQT-mediated splitting reactions, samples were subjected to ultracentrifugation through sucrose density gradients and gradient fractions were analyzed by western blotting using indicated antibodies. We obtained essentially the same results in at least three independent experiments.
