Figure Lengend Snippet: USP1 interacts with c-MYC and promotes c-MYC protein stability. ( A ) Immunofluorescence images of HA-USP1 (red) and FLAG-c-MYC (green) in HEK293T cells. DAPI was used as a nuclear stain (blue). ( B , C ) Immunoprecipitation experiments showed the interaction between USP1 and c-MYC in HEK293 cells. ( D ) Western blot analysis of c-MYC expression in USP1-overexpression T24 cells. ( E ) Western blot analysis of c-MYC expression in USP1-deficient UMUC3 cells. ( F ) Cells were transfected with increasing amounts of the HA-USP1 (0, 200, 400, and 800 ng), HA-USP1 C90S (400 and 800 ng), and FLAG-c-MYC plasmids, and Western blotting was performed to determine the effect of USP1 protein levels on c-MYC expression in HEK293T cells. ( G ) Cells were transfected with FLAG-c-MYC with HA-USP1 or HA-USP1 C90S, as indicated. Western blot analysis of c-MYC stability after treatment with CHX (50 μg/mL) for the indicated time. GAPDH served as a control. ( H ) Cells were co-transfected with FLAG-c-MYC and Myc-Ub with or without HA-USP1 or HA-USP1 C90S, treated with MG132 (10 μM) for 6 h, and then subjected to ubiquitination assays.
Article Snippet: Rabbit polyclonal antibody (pAb) against USP1 (14346-1-AP) and mouse mAb against GAPDH (60004-1) were purchased from Proteintech (Wuhan, China).
