Affinity purified α-Cdc45, α-Psf2 (40 (link)), α-Mcm3 (41 (link)), α-LRR1 (S962D) and α-Cul2 (SA206) (4 (link)), and α-Mcm7 (6 ) were previously described. Xenopus Ufd1 antibody was a kind gift from Prof Stemmann’s lab (13 (link)).
Xenopus full-length p97, Ubxn7, Faf1, and GINS proteins were purified as described previously (6 , 13 (link)) and antibodies raised against such prepared antigens in sheep (p97, GINS, Ubxn7) or rabbit (Faf1). The resulting antibody sera were purified in-house against the purified antigen. The specificity of each new antibody is presented in
