NEDD8 must simultaneously substitute the residues 4, 12, 14 and 72 with the Ub equivalents for efficient hydrolysis by USP2. (A) Wild-type NEDD8-Hisx6 and indicated mutants (13.8 μM) were incubated with or without USP2 (4.75 μM) at 37 °C for 60 min. All reactions were terminated by adding 4X SDS-PAGE sample buffer and incubating at 100 °C for 10 min. Samples were separated on 16.6% SDS-PAGE and further analyzed using western blotting with the anti-Hisx6 tag antibody. Data are representative of three independent experiments. The full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure S3. (B) The signal intensity of three independent experiments was measured by a densitometer and processed by ImageJ. The results of the measurement were interpreted as a bar graph. Values are means ± S.D. from three independent experiments. The numbers noted at the bottom represent the lane numbers on the western blot.
