Endogenous holoenzyme, core particle 41 (link), and lid subcomplex 42 (link) were purified from S. cerevisiae essentially as described. The base subcomplex was purified according to protocols for the holoenzyme preparation, but with minor modifications as described in the Full Methods. Details of yeast strain construction are provided in Table S1.
Yeast lid was recombinantly expressed from three plasmids in E. coli BL21-star (DE3), and purified on anti-FLAG M2 resin and by size-exclusion chromatography (see Full Methods).
