Figure 2 Surface plasmon resonance of EDD UBA binding to ubiquitin and polyubiquitin chains. A, EDD UBA injected over monoubiquitin (Ub, open triangles), K48-linked diubiquitin (K48-Ub,, dashed line with filled rhom- bus), K48-linked tetraubiquitin (K48-Ub,, dashed line with filled squares), K63- linked diubiquitin (K63-Ub,, open rhombus), and K63-linked tetraubiquitin (K63-Ub,, open squares) surfaces. Experimental data points and the fitted binding curves are shown. The data were fit without cooperativity between sites (a Hill coefficient of 1) and normalized by the maximum response for each surface. Maximum responses were 770 (Ub), 1190 (K48-Ub,), 3340 (K48- Ub,), 2270 (K63-Ub,), and 3870 (K63-Ub,) in response units (RU). B, ubiquitin and polyubiquitin flowing over a UBA surface. Data and fitted curves are shown for monoubiquitin (Ub, open triangles), K48-linked diubiquitin (K48- Ub,, dashed line with filled rhombus), and N-to-C-linked diubiquitin (NC-Ub,, filled oval). The data were fit to allow cooperativity between sites with Hill coefficients of 0.99 (Ub), 0.87 (K48-Ub,), and 0.71 (NC-Ub,).
