Figure Lengend Snippet: CDK11 p110 , not CDK11 p58 , regulates promoter activity of CBFβ genes. a Schematic representation of the promoter-luciferase construct showing the CBFβ promoter region. b CDK11 p110 upregulates CBFβ promoter-luciferase in a dose-dependent manner in the U-2OS cell line. U-2OS cells were transfected with the CBFβ promoter-luciferase construct. Co-expression was conducted with an empty expression vector (control) or CDK11 expression vectors. Error bars indicate standard deviation and are from at least three replicates. c CDK11 p110 upregulates CBFβ promoter-luciferase in a dose-dependent manner in the KHOS cell line. KHOS cells were transfected with the CBFβ promoter-luciferase construct. Co-expression was conducted with an empty expression vector (control) or CDK11 expression vectors. Error bars indicate standard deviation and are from at least three replicates. d CDK11 p110 , not CDK11 p58 , activates the CBFβ promoter-luciferase in the KHOS cell line. e CDK11 p110 significantly increases CBFβ promoter-luciferase in KHOS cell line. f Schematic showing major structural features of the CDK11 p110 protein. CDK11 p110 kinase-dead or kinase-active mutations were generated. The asterisk represents the amino acid that was mutated to create kinase-dead or active mutations. g In the U-2OS cell line, the C-terminal kinase domain mutation of CDK11 p110 failed to affect CDK11 p110 -mediated CBFβ activation. h The C-terminal kinase domain mutation of CDK11 p110 also did not change CBFβ promoter activity in the KHOS cell line. * P < 0.05., ** P < 0.01
Article Snippet: Protein G Magnetic beads (SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads), Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) were washed with blocking solution and pre-coated overnight with anti-CDK11 antibody (sc-928, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), anti-Histone H3 (SimpleChIP®Kit, Cell Signaling Technology) as a positive control, or IgG as a negative control.
