Extended Data Fig. 4. Assessments of NIK-dependent p100 processing and p100-IκBδ activity of the NFKB2 variants by overexpression.

Extended Data Fig. 4

(a) Western blot of HEK293T cells transfected for 48 h in the presence or absence of plasmids encoding NIK and WT or mutant NF-κB2, showing phosphorylated Y866-p100 (P-p100) levels, and p100 and p52 expression. Data representative of three independent experiments are shown. (b) Relative luciferase activity (RLA), indicating the p100/NF-κB2-dependent capacity to repress κB transcriptional activity for luciferase in HEK293T cells in the presence or absence of plasmids encoding NIK and various amounts of a plasmid encoding the C-terminal part of p100/NF-κB2 (Cter, aa 405-900) from WT or mutants, 48 h after transfection. The results are expressed as a percentage of the κB-luc RLA after transfection with NIK alone (left panel); the kinetic effect of transfection with NIK either alone or together with a plasmid encoding the various Cter constructs, as assessed by κB-luc transcriptional repression, from 24 to 72 h after transfection is shown in the right panel. Bars represent the mean values (± s.d.) from two independent experiments performed in duplicate. (c) Kinetic effect of transfection with NIK alone or together with a plasmid encoding the dimer-deficient Y247A single (p100Y247A) or double (p100/Y247A/W270*, p100Y247A/R611*, p100Y247A/S866N, or p100Y247A/R853*) mutants, in terms of κB transcriptional repression of luciferase activity from 24 to 72 h after transfection. Results are expressed as a percentage of the κB RLA after transfection with NIK alone. Bars represent the mean values (± s.d.) from two independent experiments performed in duplicate. (d) Western blot of HEK293T cells cotransfected with a plasmid encoding NIK, together with various amounts of a plasmid encoding the WT or mutant NF-κB2 variants, together with a constant amount of empty vector (left panel) or of WT NFKB2 (right panel), showing phosphorylated p100 (P-p100), p100 and p52 expression. Data representative of three independent experiments are shown.
