DYRK1A-E396ter is degraded by the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal pathway and is intrinsically inactive. (a) FLAG-tagged DYRK1A-WT, DYRK1A-E396ter, and DYRK1A-K188R plasmids were transiently co-expressed with Tau protein in 293 T cells for 24 h. Total cell extracts were harvested and subjected to western blotting with anti-FLAG, anti-phosphorylated-Tau (at T212, p-Tau), and anti-Tau antibodies. HnRNP A1 served as a loading control. Asterisks indicate nonspecific proteins. (b) FLAG-tagged DYRK1A-WT and DYRK1A-E396ter were co-expressed with Tau protein and then treated with selective proteolytic pathway inhibitors: MG132 for the proteasome, NH4Cl for lysosome, calpeptin for calpain, and 3-methyladenine for autophagy. (c) FLAG-DYRK1A-E396ter and HA-ubiquitin were co-expressed for 24 h prior to MG132 treatment (10 μM, 11 h). Total cell extracts were harvested, FLAG-DYRK1A-E396ter was immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG antibody, and polyubiquitination was detected by western blotting with an anti-HA antibody. Uncropped full-sized blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S4.
