NMD target stability and protein expression in Carm1 +/+ and Carm1 -/- MEFs. (A) Western blotting analysis and quantification shows levels of CARM1, UPF1 and NMD targets ASNS and ARC protein levels in Carm1 +/+ (wt) and Carm1 -/- MEFs. Tubulin was used as loading control. Data are means +/− SEM (n = 3). (B,C) Quantification of NMD transcripts Gadd45A and Asns mRNA half-lives normalized to Gapdh. Semi-logarithmic graph shows the decay rate of mRNAs calculated using formula: (x) = ln(0.5)/b, where b = slope obtained from the trendline formula: y = ne−bx. Carm1 +/+ and Carm1 -/- MEFs were pretreated with either a vehicle or Wortmannin (5 μM) and followed by treatment with actinomycin D (5 μg/ml) and RNA extraction at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. Quantification shows the means +/− SEM (n = 3) and data are presented as relative to zero time point.
