doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2026.112204
Figure Lengend Snippet: MYCBP2 destabilizes KIF14 via ubiquitin-proteasome system . A , GSEA associating MYCBP2 with ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. B–C , UbiBrowser prediction of MYCBP2-KIF14 interaction (confidence score: 0.746). D , RT-qPCR confirms no significant change in KIF14 mRNA expression after MYCBP2 knockdown (n.s., p > 0.05). E , Western blot analysis shows increased KIF14 protein levels in MYCBP2-knockdown MOLM-13 and HL-60 cells (∗ p < 0.05 vs. si-NC). F , Co-IP confirming endogenous MYCBP2-KIF14 interaction. G , exogenous co-IP in 293T cells (Myc-MYCBP2/Flag-KIF14). H , ubiquitination assay demonstrating that MYCBP2 enhances the ubiquitination of KIF14. I–J , Cycloheximide (CHX) chase experiment showing prolonged half-life of KIF14 in MYCBP2-knockdown cells. n = 3, mean ± SD; ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: MOLM-13 and HL-60 cells (purchased from Wuhan Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, maintained at 37 °C in a 5% CO 2 incubator until reaching 70% to 80 confluence.
