Inhibition of UPF1 or SMG-1 is required for generation of bulk of mutant protein from NMD-rescued PTC-containing gBglo-P66 mRNA. (a) Western analysis of siRNA mediated downregulation of core NMD and EJC factors UPF1, Y14, EIF4A3, SMG1, UPF2, and MAGOH in HeLa cells. GAPDH served as internal control. (b) qPCR analysis of relative β-globin mRNA levels in HeLa cells transfected with gBglo-WT or gBglo-P66 and siRNA against each factor. (c) Western analysis of β-globin derived from NMD-rescued PTC-containing gBglo-P66 mRNA in the same samples used in (b). (d) Concomitant inhibition of UPF1 with UPF2, Y14, EIF4A3, or MAGOH in HeLa cells transfected with gBglo-P66 in the presence and absence of MG132. Every experiment in Fig. 6 was performed two independent times and the results of one representative experiment are shown. Error bars in (a) represent the SD of the mean of two independently performed qPCR results.
