ShIft88 or ShKif3a does not affect the promoter activities of TonEBP target genes under hyperosmotic conditions. (ac) Proximal promoter activities of AR (a), HSP-70 (b), and TauT (c) in response to hyperosmotic stimuli (550 mOsm/kg H2O) with or without ShIft88 or ShKif3a. The promoter activities of TonEBP target genes are mostly unaffected by ShIft88 or ShKif3a. (d) ShKif3a as well as one of the ShIft88 clones prevent further upregulation of TonEBP-TAD (Ton-TAD) activity in response to hyperosmolarity. Interestingly, the levels of TonEBP-TAD activity under isoosmotic conditions are increased with ShIft88 or ShKif3a. Data are represented as scatter plots (mean ± SEM) (n ≥ 3 with 3 technical replicates per biological replicate). ns = not significant. One-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis test with Sidak’s or Dunn’s multiple comparison test was used based on the distribution of the data to determine statistical significance.
