Ubiquitome screen reveals novel DUB targets of ataxin-3. (A) Flow chart showing experimental protocol. Control and ataxin-3 shRNA THP-1 cells were left unstimulated or stimulated for 60 min with MDP + PAM3CSK4 prior to ubiquitin enrichment using TUBEs1 beads, with the lysates subsequently subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. (B) Immunoblot using antibody against K63 linked polyubiquitinated proteins of whole cell lysates (input) and TUBEs1 enriched fractions or beads only control samples. Volcano plots comparing ubiquitinated protein expression in (C) unstimulated control and ataxin-3 shRNA THP-1 cells and (D) control and ataxin-3 shRNA THP-1 cells following MDP + PAM3CSK4 stimulation. The dotted lines on the y-axes represents a p-value of 0.05 (t-test), and on the x-axes represents fold change >2 or <-2.
