To assess ribosome ubiquitination during ER stress, ribosomes were purified with Myc-tagged ubiquitin (Myc-Ubi) and the FLAG-tagged ribosomal protein uL23 (uL23-FLAG), as described previously22 (link). Yeast cells harbouring pCUP1p-MYC-UBI and pRPL25(uL23)-FLAG were cultured in 800 mL of synthetic complete medium. To induce the expression of Myc-Ubi, the cells were cultured in the presence of 0.1 mM Cu2+ for 1 h, followed by the addition of Tm to a concentration of 1 µg/mL and harvesting at the indicated time points. Cell lysates were prepared, and FLAG-tagged ribosomes were purified using M2 FLAG-affinity resin (Sigma), as described previously22 (link). Affinity purified samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by staining with Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) or western blotting with an anti-Myc antibody.
