Importance of the DDX6-4E-T interaction for miRNA-mediated repression. (A) Schematic cartoon depicting the components of the miRNA reporter assay. (B) HeLa cells were treated with control (β-globin) or 4E-T siRNA, and transfected with HA-4E-T (wt and deletion forms), RL-Hmga2 (wt or let-7 binding site) mutant and control FL plasmids. Assays were performed in the presence of the dominant negative PAN2catal and CAF1catal to eliminate effects resulting from mRNA deadenylation (33). Lysates were analysed by Dual luciferase luminometry. (***P < 0.001, *P <0.05, ns not significant, two tailed t test; (n = 3–4)). (C) Western blotting of transfected samples.
