Article Title: Control of myogenesis by the E3 ubiquitin ligase CUL3-BTBD9
doi: 10.1101/2025.05.15.654347
Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Indicated FLAG BTBD9 variants were affinity-purified and co-precipitating CAV1 was detected by Western blotting. Only affinity-purification of WT-BTBD9, but not a mutant defective in catalyzing ubiquitylation (ΔCUL3) resulted in co-precipitation of a modified version of CAV1, with a molecular weight expected for monoubiquitylated CAV1. B. Denaturing NiNTA-purification of His-ubiquitin conjugates from either WT or ΔBTBD9 myoblasts shows that overexpression of BTBD9 resulted in modification of CAV1 with up to three ubiquitin molecules, as detected by Western blotting. C. Denaturing NiNTA-purification of His-ubiquitin conjugates from cells expressing single-Lys variants of CAV1 reveals that BTBD9 preferentially promotes modification of K26, K30, and K39 in CAV1 with short oligomers containing up to three ubiquitin subunits. D. Degradation reporter assay, as described , shows that deletion of BTBD9 did not alter the stability of CAV1.
Article Snippet: Depending on the experiment, cells were stained with the primary antibody anti-myosin heavy chain (DHSB; MF20) at 1:50, anti-myogenin (DHSB; F5G) at 1:50, or anti-CAV1 (Cell Signaling, 3267S) at 1:200 for 3h.
