Inhibition of either autophagy or ubiquitination fails to degrade E2A/Pbx1. Flow cytometry (a) showed that inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA and inhibition of ubiquitination by ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitor MG132 fails to degrade E2A/Pbx1, and the oncoprotein accumulated in the combined group in western botting result (b), indicating that both autophagy and ubiquitination contribute to the degradation of E2A/Pbx1. Nutrient depletion with HBSS medium also induced ubiquitination of 697 cells (c), and MG132 restored the degradation of E2A/Pbx1 induced by nutrient depletion with HBSS (d).
