Enhancement of Rta ubiquitination by TRIM5α. (A) 293T cells were cotransfected with plasmids expressing Rta, Flag-ubiquitin, and TRIM5α. Proteins in the lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) using anti-Flag antibody and assessed by immunoblotting (IB) with anti-Rta antibody. (B) 293T cells were cotransfected with plasmids pFlag-Rta, pHA-Ub, and pLKO-shTRIM5α, which encoded Flag-Rta, HA-ubiquitin and shTRIM5α, respectively. Proteins in the lysates were immunoprecipitated (IP) using anti-Flag antibody and analyzed by immunoblotting (IB) with anti-HA antibody. At 24 h after transfection, cells were treated with 5 μM MG132 for additional 12 h to inhibit proteasome degradation. The asterisk indicates a non-specific band, also detected in previous studies (Chang et al., 2004; Yang et al., 2013). Ub-Rta, ubiquitinated Rta.
