FBXO38 interacts with and stabilizes KIF20B by an SCF-independent mechanism. (A) AGS cells were cotransfected with plasmids expressing HA-tagged KIF20B and FLAG-tagged FBXO38 (WT), the FBXO38 F-box deletion mutant (∆FBX) or an empty vector control (VC). Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting using antibodies against FLAG and HA. (B) 293 T cells were cotransfected as in (A), followed by coimmunoprecipitation using anti-FLAG M2 resin. Recovered proteins were analyzed by Western blotting using antibodies against FLAG, HA and Skp1 and myc. Bands corresponding to FBXO38 WT or ∆FBX are indicated with arrow heads. (C) AGS cells were transfected with an siRNA targeting FBXO38 (+) or a negative control siRNA (−) followed by 12 hr treatment with the MG132 proteasome inhibitor (+) or DMSO (−). Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting using antibodies against FBXO38, KIF20B and actin.
