Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. The HD domain of SAMHD1 is required for its interaction with IKKα and IKKβ. A, schematic diagrams of SAMHD1 wildtype (WT) and truncated mutants (M1, M2, M3, M4, M6, and M7). B and C, HEK293T cells were cotransfected with plasmids expressing FLAG-IKKα (B), FLAG-IKKβ (C), or empty vector, HA-SAMHD1 WT or SAMHD1 truncated mutants (M1, M2, M4, M6, and M7) for 48 h. An empty vector was used to maintain the same amount of plasmid DNA in transfection. FLAG antibody was used for immunoprecipitation (IP). Input and IP samples were analyzed by Western blot. D and E, HEK293T cells were cotransfected with plasmids expressing FLAG-IKKα (D), FLAG-IKKβ (E), or empty vector, and HA-SAMHD1 WT or HA-SAMHD1 HD domain (M3) for 48 h. HA antibody was used for IP. Input and IP samples were analyzed by Western blot. FLAG antibody and p-IKKα/β antibody were used for immunoblotting. HD, histidine aspartic domain; IgG LC, IgG light chain; M, molecular weight marker; SAM, sterile alpha motif.
Article Snippet: SAMHD1 and IKKα or IKKβ were precleared with Dynabeads Protein A for 30 min and then incubated with Dynabeads Protein A and SAMHD1 antibody, IKKα antibody (61294S, Cell Signaling) or IKKβ antibody in cell lysis buffer with 0.375% CHAPS overnight at 4 C. The beads were washed with a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl PH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, and 0.5% sodium deoxycholate.
