Figure 6. Mutation of the Nedd8 binding sequence inhibits the ubiquitylation of Smurf1 substrates.

Figure 6

(A,B) The mutation in the Smurf Nedd8 binding interferes with RhoA or Smad1 targeting in cells. HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with Flag-tagged RhoA or Myc-tagged Smad1 in combination with Myc-tagged Smurf1 WT, Y439A or 10 A mutant. Steady-state levels of RhoA, Smad1 and Smurf1 in total cell lysates were determined by immunoblotting with anti-Flag and Myc antibodies. (C,D) Mutation in Smurf1 binding interferes with the ubiquitylation of RhoA or Smad1 in regards to targeting in cells. HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with Flag-tagged RhoA or Smad1 together with Myc-tagged Smurf1 WT or 10 A as indicated. Ubiquitylation of RhoA or Smad1 was determined by immunoprecipitation by anti-Flag followed by immunoblotting with anti-ubiquitin antibody. (E) Analysis of the interaction between Flag-tagged RhoA and Myc-Smurf-HECT (WT or the 10 A mutant) by Co-IP in vivo.
