(A) PTEN shows adduct formation in vivo and a smear (poly) at 36 hours post transfection. Molecular weights in kD. ‘n’ denotes non-specific band and asterisks indicate migration of unmodified (single) and modified PTEN (double).
(B) Discrete adducts co-migrate with various PTEN-fusions. Asterisks as in (A). Molecular weights in kD.
(C) Immunoprecipitation of gfp-PTEN after HA-Ubiquitin co-expression confirms discrete mono- (labeled 1–3) and poly-Ub adducts (labeled poly). Migration of gfp-PTEN is shown. Molecular weights in kD.
(D) Low steady state levels (left panel), strong ubiquitination (middle panel) and PTEN-specific ubiquitination (right panel) of the gfp-PTEN-UbKØ fusion. Molecular weights in kD.
(E) Defects in mono-ubiquitination of the indicated lysine mutants. Left panel shows overview (location of stacking gel and molecular weights are indicated) and right panels show magnification and quantification of ratios for mono-Ub : main PTEN-band intensities.
