mTOR levels are elevated in Fbxw7 mutants. Western blot analyses of sciatic nerve lysates indicate a 2-fold increase in mTOR protein in Dhhcre(+):Fbxw7fl/fl (cKO [conditional knockout]) nerves compared with littermate controls when normalized to both background and alpha-tubulin levels (a, b; p = 0.0350, unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction). mTOR mRNA is also upregulated in Dhhcre(+):Fbxw7fl/fl nerves (c; mTOR p = 0.0236, Eif4b p = 0.417, Eif4ebp1 p = 0.0398, Eif4ebp2 p = 0.0087, Prkca p = 0.0073; # = p < 0.1; one-way ANOVA), as are multiple mTOR targets. The gray line at y = 1 denotes control levels. For western blots: N = 5 controls, N = 5 Dhhcre(+):Fbxw7fl/fl at P42. For qPCR, N = 3 control and 3 Dhhcre(+):Fbxw7fl/fl at P21. Error bars depict S.D.
