A Immunoblotting (IB) analysis of Erk3 expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) cultured in the presence (+) or absence (−) of 10% fetal bovine serum. B IB analysis of cell lysates prepared from BMDM treated with different concentrations of etoposide for 24 h. C IB analysis of total cell lysates from the mouse hearts treated with etoposide (50 mg/kg body weight, 24 h). D, E HEK293T cells were transfected different amounts (0–1 µg) of HA-HSC70 or Flag-LAMP2A. Cell lysates were immunoblotted as indicated. F HEK293T and A549 cells were transfected with control siRNA (−) or two sets of Lamp2A siRNAs. Total cell lysates were analyzed for the expression of proteins indicated. G Schematic representation of full-length or different fragments of Erk3 used for the experiments depicted in panels (H) and (I). H IB analysis of cell lysates from HEK293T cells transfected with the indicated plasmids. I IB analysis of cell lysates prepared from HEK293T cells transfected with the indicated plasmids in the presence of Bafilomycin A1 (100 ng/mL, 16 h). J Total cell lysates from HEK293T cells transfected as indicated were immunoprecipitated by anti-Flag and then immunoblotted with anti-HA. K Schematic representation of full-length or different fragments of Erk3 used for the experiments presented in panels (L) and (M). L, M GST pulldown analysis of the interaction between HSC70 and full-length or different fragments of Erk3. N Schematic representation of full-length or different fragments of Erk3 used for experiments depicted in panel (O). O GST pulldown analysis of the interaction between LAMP2A and full-length or different fragments of Erk3.
