Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 9 | Functional studies of CAND1 and HMGB1. A WT and G1069C mutant CAND1 proteins bind Cul1 while the G1069C CAND1 mutation perturbs binding. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with FLAG-Cul1 and the given HA-tagged CAND1 protein (WT, G1069C, or G1069W) or control FLAG-GFP. Anti-FLAG resin was used to pull down FLAG-Cul1 from cell lysates along with any complexed proteins. Western Blots were incubated with the indicated primary antibodies, *indicates a non-specific HA band. B HMGB1 proteins were tested for the ability to induce TLR4-mediated immune response using HEK-Blue reporter cell lines (hTLR4 and Null control) and corresponding PRR assay. Results show mean response ratios (error bars = SD, n = 4 per condition) of hTLR4 and Null cells to increasing concentrations (μg/mL) of WT, R110C, and R110W proteins as indicated over 2 independent experiments.

Article Snippet: HEK293T cells were co-transfected with 3xFLAG-CUL1-pCMV7.1 (Addgene, plasmid #155019) alongwith the given CAND1 plasmid (WT, G1069C, G1069W) or control FLAG‐GFP plasmid.
