Figure 2. IκBα is modified by SUMO-2/3 in vitro and ex vivo.
(A) In vitro SUMOylation assay using IκBα WT or mutated on lysines 21 and 22 as substrates. (B) HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids, pre-treated or not with MG132 and stimulated or not with TNFα. His6-ubiquitylated or SUMOylated proteins were purified using denaturing conditions and Ni2+ chromatography.
