Ascl1 is ubiquitylated by Huwe1 in the cytoplasm. (A) Schematic representation of experimental design. Adenovirally-mediated Cre expression was used to delete Huwe1 from NSCs harbouring the Flox-Huwe1 allele and cells were harvested after 1 day in differentiation media. (B) Flox-Huwe1 NSCs at day 5 were incubated +/− MG132 for 2 hours, and cytoplasmic and chromatin fractions were processed for western blot analysis to detect Huwe1 as well as α-Tubulin (loading control for cytoplasmic fraction) and histone H3 (loading control for chromatin fraction). (C) Cytoplasmic fractions with and without cre-mediated knockdown of Huwe1 (see panel B), were incubated with and without MG132 for 2 hours and western blotted to detect free and ubiquitin-conjugated (blue bracket) forms of Ascl1. Top panel is long exposure to reveal high molecular weight ubiquitylated forms of Ascl1 (blue bracket), bottom Ascl1 panel is lower exposure (cropped from the same blot) to show stabilisation of Ascl1 after Huwe1 knockdown, α-Tubulin (loading control for cytoplasmic fraction, cropped to show specific band of correct molecular weight), n = 3.
