Figure Lengend Snippet: KIF23 induces K48‐linked deubiquitination of MYH9 through recruitment of USP7. (A) Western blotting (WB) analysis of MYH9 protein stability at different time points following cycloheximide (CHX) treatment in control and KIF23 KO groups. (B) CHX chase assay examining the regulation of MYH9 protein stability by USP7 overexpression (oe‐ USP7 ). (C) Effect of MG132 treatment (12 h) on MYH9 protein stability in KIF23 KO CC cells and their controls. (D) Co‐IP and WB analyses of the effect of KIF23 KO on MYH9 ubiquitination levels after 12 h of MG132 treatment. (E) Co‐IP and WB assays assessing the effects of control, KIF23 KO and KIF23 KO combined with USP7 overexpression (KO‐ KIF23 + oe‐ USP7 ) on MYH9 ubiquitination after 12 h of MG132 treatment in SIHA (left) and C33A (right) cells.
