NUMBL overexpression inhibits TRAF6 and NEMO by inducing K48-pUB of TRAF6 and NEMO. (A) WT bone marrow cells expressing pMX-NUMBL showed decreased expression of TRAF6 and NEMO upon RANKL stimulation when compared with pMX-GFP expressing cells after 2 days of RANKL stimulation. Plat-E cells were co-transfected with fixed amount of pMX-NUMBL in the presence of increasing amount of (B; left panel) TAK1, (C; left panel) TRAF6 and (D; left panel) NEMO or with increasing amount of pMX-NUMBL with fixed amount of (B; right panel) TAK1, (C; middle panel) TRAF6 and (D; middle panel) NEMO. 2 days after transfection the cells were lysed and immuno-probed with indicated antibodies. Immuno-blots indicate that increasing NUMBL expression results in decrease in TAK1, TRAF6 and NEMO expression in Plat-E cells. The expression of (C: right panel) TRAF6 and (D; right panel) NEMO was quantitated using image J. (E) Plat-E cells were co-transfected with NUMBL and TRAF6. Immuno-blot from total cell lysates and TRAF6-immunoprecipitates shows that NUMBL interacts with TRAF6 and leads to its K48-poly-ubiquitine mediated proteasomal degradation. (F) Plat-E cells were co-transfected with NUMBL and NEMO. Immuno-blot from total cell lysates and NEMO-immunoprecipitates shows that NUMBL interacts with TRAF6 and leads to its K48-poly-ubiquitine mediated proteasomal degradation. Full-length Western blots images are included in supplementary data as Figure S5.A-F.
