Figure 5. Mutating RIP2 tyrosine 474 decreases RIP2's ability to cell death induced by FasL.
BEAS-2B cells were transiently transfected with wild type and CARD domain Y474 (Y/A, Y/D, or Y/F) mutants RIP2 expression vector. The total concentration of transfected DNA was kept constant by adding empty vector. After 24 h of transfection, medium was replaced and cells were treated with CH11(1.0 μg/mL) for an additional 24 h. A. Schematic representation of RIP2 and tyrosine mutation at 474 in CARD domain. Cell supernatants and lysates were harvested and analyzed for B, LDH assay and C, immunoblotting respectively. Asterisks indicate p<0.05 using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc comparison.
