CUL5–ASB6 complex promotes ubiquitination and degradation of p62. (A) IB analyses of WCL from HEK293T cells co-transfected with plasmids encoding HA-p62, ASB6 shRNAs, and GFP (as an internal transfection control). Tubulin served as a loading control. (B) HeLa cells infected with indicated shRNAs were harvested for IB analysis. Tubulin served as a loading control. The knockdown efficiency of ASB6 was examined by RT-PCR. GAPDH gene was detected as the internal control. (C) HEK293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding HA-p62 and FLAG-ASB6 and were treated with different concentrations of MG132 (10, 20, and 30 μM) for 10 h before harvest for IB assay. Tubulin served as loading control. (D) IB analyses of HEK293T cells transfected with plasmids encoding HA-p62 and ASB6 mutants. Tubulin served as a loading control. (E,F) HEK293T cells were transfected with plasmids encoding HA-p62 and EV or FLAG-ASB6. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were treated with 50 μg/ml CHX and harvested at the indicated time for IB analysis. Tubulin served as loading control. Relative HA-p62 protein levels were quantified and normalized to Tubulin with ImageJ software. (G) IB analysis of HEK293T cells transfected with a plasmid encoding FLAG-ASB6. Tubulin served as a loading control. (H) HEK293T cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were treated with 10 μM MG132 for 10 h before harvest for Ni-NTA beads pull down and IB analysis.
