Figure 4. ATG5 is critically involved in CNOT2 induced degradation of p62/SQSTM1 in H1299 cells.

Figure 4

Effect of CNOT2 depletion on ATG5 was examined in H1299 cells transfected by CNOT2 siRNA at mRNA (A) and protein levels (B) by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Quantitative analysis for mRNA and protein levels for ATG5 in CNOT2-depleted H1299 cells (means ± SD of 3 independent experiments. (C) Effect of HA-CNOT2 and/or HA-ATG5 on p62 degradation in MEF cells transfected with Flag-p62 plasmid. MEF cells were transfected with HA-CNOT2 and/or HA-ATG5 and/or Flag-p62 plasmids for 24 h and then Western blotting was performed. (D) The crucial role of ATG5 in p62/SQSTM1 degradation by CNOT2 depletion in ATG5 wild and mutant MEF cells co-transfected with HA-CNOT2 and Flag-p62 plasmids by Western blotting.
