Effect of tunicamycin on the IRES activity of IRF2. (A) HeLa cells were transiently transfected with bicistronic plasmids pRIRF2F or pRnullF. Four hours post-transfection, tunicamycin (Calbiochem) was added at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml. Luciferase activity was measured 14 h post-transfection. FLuc (white bar) and RLuc (gray bar) activities are shown as fold decrease with respect to corresponding control (without tunicamycin), taken as 100%. The data mean ± SD from three independent experiments. (B) HeLa cells were transiently co-transfected with 1 μg of monocistronic plasmids pCDIRF2FLuc or pCDRLuc. 4 h post-transfection, tunicamycin (Calbiochem) was added at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml. Luciferase activity was measured 14 h post transfection. FLuc (white bars) and RLuc (gray bars) activities correspond to the activities of the respective reporter constructs (as indicated). FLuc and RLuc activities are shown as fold decrease with respect to corresponding control (without tunicamycin) taken as 100%. The data mean ± SD from three independent experiments.
