Fig. 5. SUMO1 modification mainly occurred at lysine 53 and 89 residues of 48-kD PAX6.

a Pattern diagram indicating the distribution of all lysine residues of 48-kD PAX6. b 293T cells were co-transfected with HA-tagged SUMO1 with the indicated wild-type PAX6 and PAX6 variants, containing one or two adjacent lysine (K) residues mutated to arginine (R) residues (K28R, K53R, K69R, K89R, K100/K105R, K148R, K159R, K221/223R, K241R, K260R, K278R, or K284R). Cell lysates were prepared under denaturing conditions and subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody, followed by western blot using anti-HA, anti-Flag, or anti-GAPDH antibodies. c 293T cells were co-transfected with Flag-tagged SUMO1 with the indicated wild-type PAX6 and PAX6 variants, containing all lysine-to-arginine mutations, but one or two adjacent lysine (K) sites remained (K28(1), K53(1), K69(1), K89(1), K100(1), K105(1), K148(1), K159(1), K221/223(2), K241(1), K260(1), K278(1), or K284(1)). Cell lysates were prepared under denaturing conditions and subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Flag antibody, followed by western blot using anti-HA, anti-Flag, or anti-GAPDH antibodies. Showing K53(1) and K89(1) restored the most apparent expression of SUMO1-modified PAX6. d Flag-tagged plasmids encoding wild-type PAX6 (WT) and SUMO1-modified sites that mutated PAX6 (K53R, K89R, and K53/89R) were constructed. 293T cells were co-transfected with Flag-tagged plasmids encoding PAX6 WT, K53R, K89R, and K53/89R, HA-tagged SUMO1 as indicated. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated by anti-Flag antibody and analyzed by western blot with anti-Flag, anti-HA, or anti-GAPDH antibodies.
