TM-P4-Thal
inhibits both SIRT2 deacetylase and defatty-acylase
activities in cells. (A) Immunofluorescence images of acetyl α-tubulin
(K40) in MCF7 cells treated with DMSO (control), TM-P4-Thal (5, 10
μM), and TM (5, 10 μM) for 12 h. (B) Normalized Ac-α-tubulin
fluorescence intensity level of 5 μM TM-P4-Thal and TM for 12
h, using ImageJ software for quantification. (C) Immunoblot with pan-Ras
antibody to show the stable overexpression of Flag-tagged K-Ras4a-G12V
in HEK 293T cells. (D) Immunoblots for SIRT1, SIRT2, and SIRT3 after
treating HEK 293T cells with 1 μM of TM-P4-Thal or 10 μM
of TM in the presence of 50 μM of Alk-14 for 24 h. (E) Alk14
labeling and in-gel fluorescence to detect lysine fatty acylation
of K-Ras4a in HEK 293T cells. Cells were treated with 1 μM TM-P4-Thal
or 10 μM TM in the presence of 50 μM Alk-14. (F) Quantified
relative lysine fatty acylation level of K-Ras4a from part E, using
ImageJ for quantification.
