NPRL2 and NPRL3 are nucleo-cytoplasmic proteins. (a) GFP signal HEK293 cells stably expressing FLAG-NPRL2-GFP (left panel) or NPRL3-GFP (right panel) was observed in the cells without treatment (NT) or in the cells treated with cycloheximide or MG132 at indicated concentrations and time. Scale bar is 5 μm. (b) Treatment with cycloheximide reduces NPRL2 protein level, but does not change NPRL3 expression. Whole cell lysates from the cells stably expressing FLAG-NPRL2-GFP or NPRL3-GFP and treated with cycloheximide for indicated time were analyzed by Western blotting with anti-GFP antibody to detect appropriate GATOR1 component and with anti-β-actin as a loading control. The protein level in % was calculated by normalizing the GFP signal to a corresponding β-actin signal and represented as a graph. The signal in the samples without treatment was set at 100%. Error bars represent the standard deviation in three independent experiments. (c). Treatment with MG132 induces NPRL2 stability. The analysis of cells treated with 20 μM MG132 for indicated time was done as in (b).
