Degradation of unassembled soluble proteins requires p97 and Npl4. (a) A p97 dominant negative mutant inhibits the degradation of unassembled FNTA. HEK293T cells transfected with FNTA-FLAG together with the indicated plasmids were subject to cycloheximide chase analysis. (b) Knockdown of p97 stabilized FNTA. HEK293T cells transfected with FNTA-FLAG together with the indicated siRNA were analyzed by cycloheximide chase. (c) Interaction of p97 with FNTA. Cells transfected with the indicated plasmids and siRNAs were subject to immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting analysis. (d) Knockdown of Npl4 but not Ufd1 stabilizes FNTA. Cells stably expressing FNTA-GFP were transfected with the indicated siRNAs. The level of FNTA-GFP was measured by immunoblotting analysis of immunoprecipitated samples. A fraction of whole-cell extracts were directly analyzed to verify knockdown efficiency.
