Figure 6. Aurora A-induced phosphorylation of p53 is a target for LANASOCS-mediated ubiquitylation.

Figure 6

(A) The Aurora A-induced phosphorylation on Ser 215 and Ser 315 was critical for LANA-mediated ubiquitylation of p53. MEF cells were cotransfected with different combinations of HA-Ub, HA-p53 (WT, S215A, S315A or S215A/S315A), LANA-myc (WT or ΔSOCS) and Aurora A-myc (WT or KR) as indicated in the figure. At 36 hr post-transfection with additional 6 hr MG132 treatment before harvest, cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with as indicated antibodies. (B) LANA upregulated Aurora A-mediated phosphorylation of p53. MEF cells were cotransfected p53-FLAG with either plasmid expressing shAurora A or shLuc in the presence or absence of LANA-myc as indicated in the figure. At 36 hr post-transfection with additional 6 hr MG132 treatment before harvest, cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with specific antibodies. The knockdown efficiency of shRNA against Aurora A is shown at the bottom panel.
