Downregulation of HRF increased Mcl-1 ubiquitination. (A) (Left panel) Cells treated with CHX (200 μg ml–1) for various time points (0–16 h) and 100 μg of cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis using anti-Puma antibody. (Right panel) Cells treated with CHX for various time points (0–16 h) were immunoprecipitated for Puma and immunoblotted with anti- Mcl-1 antibody. (B) MDA-MB-468 cells treated with scrambled (Ran siRNA) or HRF siRNA was immunoblotted for Puma and GAPDH (left panel), or immunoprecipitated with ubiquitin (Ub) antibody and blotted for Mcl-1 (right panel). (C) (Left panel) Cells treated with CHX (200 μg ml–1) for various time points (0–16 h) and 100 μg of cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis using anti-HRF antibody. (Middle panel) MDA-MB-231 cells treated with scrambled (Ran siRNA) or HRF siRNA and immunoblotted using anti-HRF antibody. (Right panel) Cells treated with HRF siRNA (HR si) or with HRFsi+CHX (200 μg ml–1) were immunoprecipitated with Mcl-1 antibody and immunoblotted using anti-Ub antibody.
