A Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) and immunoblotting (IB) analysis of the Erk3-EGLN3 interaction. Total cell lysates prepared from HEK293T cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were immuoprecipitated with anti-Flag or control mouse IgG and then immunoblotted with anti-myc. B GST pulldown analysis of the interaction between Erk3 and EGLN3 or its fragments. Total cell lysates were incubated with Glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads and then immunoblotted with anti-Flag. C Schematic representation of full-length or different fragments of EGLN3. D GST pulldown analysis of the interaction between EGLN3 and Erk3 or its fragments. E Schematic representation of full-length or different fragments of Erk3. F Cycloheximide chase experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of EGLN3 or EGLN3R205K on Erk3 stability. HEK293T cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids and then treated with CHX (30 µg/mL) for the indicated times. Total cell lysates were analyzed by IB with the indicated antibodies. GJ HEK293T cells transfected with the indicated plasmids (GI) or bone marrow-derived macrophages (J) were treated with Chloroquine (200 µM, 8, 12, and 16 h, respectively), Bafilomycin A1 (100 ng/mL, 16 h), or MG132 (10 µM, 8 h). IB was conducted with the indicated antibodies.
