Figure 6. OTUB1 interaction with DCN in MC concomitant with increase of DCN ubiquitination.

Figure 6

(a) MC was stable transfected with pIRES2-EGFP-OTUB1-myc. Then we performed IP with OTUB1 antibody and analyzed by SDS-PAGE using antibodies against the OTUB1, myc and DCN. (b) Reciprocal IP with anti-DCN antibody was analyzed using OTUB1 antibody. Lysate from MC (input) was used as a positive control, isotype matched nonspecific IgG as negative control. Lane 2(M) represents marker. (c) Cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-DCN antibody followed by immunoblotting with an anti-ubiquitin (Ub) antibody. Lane 1 is normal mesangial cells (MC), cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting. Lane 2 is vacant vector pIRES2-EGFP transfected MC (MC/pIRES2) as control, Lane 3 is pIRES2-EGFP-OTUB1-myc transfected MC (MC/OTUB1), overexpression of Ub was seen in lane 3.
