Acetylation status of Api5 affects cell cycle. MCF7 cells transfected with siRNA-resistant Api5-K251 mutants 24 h post Api5 knock down. Cells were fixed in ethanol and stained with propidium iodide and cell cycle profile was monitored. (a) Percentage of cells in the different cell cycle phases were analysed in a flow cytometer and plotted as box plots. (b) Western blotting was performed to check the levels of (b) Api5, PCNA, Cyclin A and Cyclin B1 and (cf) quantified after normalising to the loading control GAPDH. (g) MCF7 cells transfected with mVenus-tagged Api5 WT and K251 mutants were counted using Sceptar™ to check for cell proliferation.
