a, b Western blots of indicated proteins in the nuclear (Nuc) and cytoplasmic (Cyto) fractions as well as whole-cell lysates (WCL) of SW620 or SW480 cells transduced by lentiviruses encoding CAS9 and gFBXO22, along with gNS as a non-specific control (a), and retroviruses encoding a shRNA targeting FBXO22 (shFBXO22), along with shNC as a negative control (b). c A doxycycline (DOX)-inducible expression system encoding FBXO22 was introduced by lentiviruses into SW620 cells (SW620-FBXO22ind). Western blots of indicated proteins in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions as well as whole-cell lysates of SW620-FBXO22ind cells by DOX administration for indicated times (left) or concentrations (right). d Representative images of GFP-tagged FBXO22WT and FBXO22mNLS in Hela cells with re-staining of DAPI. Scale bar represents 10 μm. e A DOX-inducible expression system encoding FBXO22WT or FBXO22mNLS was introduced by lentiviruses into SW620 cells (SW620-FBXO22WT-ind or SW620-FBXO22mNLS-ind). After DOX administration, cells were fractionated and subjected to Western blots of indicated proteins. f 293T cells co-transfected with GFP, GFP-FBXO22WT or GFP-FBXO22mNLS and Flag-tagged PTENWT or PTEN4A were subjected to immunoprecipitation with an anti-Flag antibody. Western blots of Flag- and GFP-tagged proteins in the immunoprecipitates are shown. g Western blots of indicated proteins in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions as well as whole-cell lysates of two clonally derived 293T cell lines depleted of FBXO22 (FBXO22KO-1 and FBXO22KO-2) and a negative control (NSclone) respectively treated with 50 μg/ml CHX for hours as indicated. The experiments shown in ag were repeated three times with similar results, and the results of one representative experiment are shown. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
