DUSP14 methylation induces its binding to TRAF2. A) The interaction between DUSP14 and TRAF2 was inhibited by PRMT5 shRNA knockdown. Myc-TRAF2, Flag-DUSP14, and PRMT5 shRNA #2 were cotransfected into HEK293T cells. The cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag antibody and then immunoblotted with anti-Myc or anti-Flag antibody. B) DUSP14 methylation–defective mutant did not bind to TRAF2. Flag-TRAF2 plus either Flag-DUSP14 wild-type or mutant (3R→K) was transfected into HEK293T cells. The cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-DUSP14 antibody and then immunoblotted with anti-Flag or anti-DUSP14 antibody. C) DUSP14 methylation enhanced its interaction with the E3 ligase TRAF2. Flag-TRAF2 plus either Flag-DUSP14 wild-type or mutant (Q29N/T31S) were cotransfected into HEK293T cells. The cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-DUSP14 antibody and then immunoblotted with anti-TRAF2 or anti-DUSP14 antibody. Arrowhead indicates the DUSP14 protein (upper band of the doublet). Data shown are representative of 3 independent experiments.
