Oxidative stress and progerin inhibit Ubc9 import by a mechanism that is independent of Ubc9 cysteine 93 oxidation. (A) Localization of Flag-Ubc9 (WT and C93S mutant; green) in HeLa cells treated with 200 μM H2O2 for 10 min. (B) Localization of Flag-Ubc9 (WT and C93S mutant; green) in HeLa cells cotransfected with HA-lamin A or HA-progerin (red). Scale bars, 10 μm. (C, D) Histograms showing N/C values (bin size, 0.5) of Flag-Ubc9 and Flag-Ubc9-C93S in cells expressing HA-lamin A (black) and HA-progerin (red). (E) Immunoblotting for the Ubc9-Uba2 disulfide in control (8469) and HGPS (1972, 1498, and 3199) fibroblasts. The electrophoretic position of the Ubc9-Uba2 disulfide (arrow) and a nonspecific cross-reaction (asterisk) are indicated. Note that the Ubc9 C93S mutant was expressed at a low level in these experiments to avoid dominant-negative effects on nuclear SUMOylation sufficient to disrupt the Ran gradient (Kelley et al., 2011).
