 β-catenin truncation is proteasome dependent. (A) Cytosolic and nuclear lysates from HT29 cells, treated with bortezomib (Borte) were immunoprecipitated for lysine 48 polyubiquitin chain (K48) and probed for N, C and pβ-Cat552 epitopes of β-catenin. (B) HT29 cells treated with bortezomib were fractionated to cytosolic (Cyto), membranous (Memb), soluble (Nucl) and chromatin-bound (Chrom) nuclear fractions. WBs were run sequentially for β-catenin antibodies specific for epitopes as indicated. Solid arrows depict decreases in LMW β-catenin with bortezomib. Open arrows depict increases in full length β-catenin after bortezomib treatment. The braces indicate pβ-Cat552 likely processed in the nuclear proteasome. α-tubulin is a loading and purity control for cytosolic fraction, histone H3 - for chromatin bound nuclear fraction. Full size membrane scans for WBs can be seen in Suppl. Fig. SS2.
