Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Adult Canton S flies were fed with 5 % sucrose and 100 µM chloroquine for 16 h. Endogenous Ref(2)P, Kenny and Atg8a levels in lysates from adult intestines were analysed with Western blotting with anti-Ref(2)P, anti-Kenny, anti-Atg8a and anti-Tubulin antibodies, n=3. (B) Adult Canton S flies were fed with 5% sucrose and Ecc15 for 16 h, Ref(2)P and Kenny levels were analysed in lysates from dissected intestines by Western blotting with anti-Ref(2)P, anti-Kenny, and anti-Actin antibodies. The relative protein levels of endogenous Ref(2)P and Kenny levels were quantified, n>4. (C) Adult Canton S and Atg8a-GFP flies were fed with 5% sucrose and Ecc15 for 16 h before whole flies were lysed and GFP-immunoprecipitations were performed and the samples were analysed by Western blotting with anti-Ref(2)P, anti-Kenny, anti-Atg8a, and anti-Actin antibodies. The ratio of immunoprecipitated Ref(2)P and Kenny to total Ref(2)P and Kenny was quantified, n=3. (D) Adult wildtype Canton S and GFP-Kenny expressing flies were fed with 5% sucrose and Ecc15 for 16 h before lysis. GFP-immunoprecipitations were performed and the samples were analysed by Western blotting with anti-Ref(2)P, anti-GFP, and anti-Actin antibodies. The ratio of immunoprecipitated Ref(2)P to total Ref(2)P was quantified, n=3.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Dissected intestines from adult flies expressing mCherry-Atg8a (magenta) crossed with flies expressing HA-tagged wildtype or D21E mutant Kenny were stained for HA (yellow) and Ref(2)P (cyan). Co-localisation of Atg8a, Kenny and Ref(2)P is indicated as white puncta in the merged image. Midguts were imaged by confocal microscopy using at least 3 intestines per repeat, n=3. Scale bar 100 µm. (B) Adult control UbiGal4 flies and flies expressing HA-tagged wildtype or D21E mutant Kenny by control of UbiGal4 were fed with 5% sucrose and Ecc15 for 16 h before lysis. HA-immunoprecipitations were performed and the samples were analysed by Western blotting with anti-Ref(2)P, anti-HA and anti-Actin antibodies, n=5. The relative interaction between Ref(2)P and Kenny were quantified.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Structural modelling of the Dredd-Kenny interaction. Dredd (blue, AlphaFold: Q8IRY7) is modelled on the complex of two KSHV-FLIP (grey) proteins associated with a NEMO (pink) dimer (PDB: 3CL3). The molecular graphics and analyses were performed with the UCSF Chimera package .

V5-immunoprecipitations were performed and the samples were analysed by Western blotting with anti-HA, anti-V5, and anti-Actin antibodies. The ratio of immunoprecipitated Dredd to total Dredd was quantified, n=4. (C) Drosophila S2 cells were transfected with empty vector, V5-tagged wildtype, G98R, or C386A point mutant of Dredd and HA-tagged Kenny. Kenny cleavage was analysed from transfected S2 cells by Western blotting with anti-HA, anti-V5, and anti-Actin antibodies. The ratio of cleaved to total Kenny was quantified, n=5.

Article Title: The protein phosphatase 2A-B56α complex regulates N-Myc degradation in neuroblastoma

doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2026.111298

Figure Lengend Snippet: PP2A activity is dependent on the N-Myc phosphorylation sites S62 and T58. A , Kelly cells were transduced with pLenti6.3 expressing V5-tagged WT N-Myc and mutant S62D or T58A N-Myc. Cells were treated with 25 μg/ml cycloheximide in a chase experiment to assess protein stability over 60 min by immunoblot of whole cell lysate for V5-tagged N-Myc. B , quantification of V5-tagged N-Myc plotted after normalization to Vinculin and the untreated control. Data plotted as mean ± S.D. are from four independent experiments ( n = 4), and half-lives were determined from exponential decay curve fitting. C , Kelly cells expressing the WT, S62D, and T58A N-Myc are treated with DMSO or 20 μM DT-061 for 3 h and immunoblotted for V5-tagged N-Myc, representative images are presented. D , quantification of V5-tagged N-Myc after normalization to Vinculin and DMSO controls from three independent experiments ( n = 3). Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA; ∗ p < 0.05; ns, not significant. E , representative images of clonogenic assays of Kelly WT and S62D N-Myc plated at low density and treated with DT-061 for 14 days. F , colony formation assays from panel E were quantified by absorbance of dissolved crystal violet stained colonies, and plotted data represent the mean ± S.D. of three independent biological replicates (two technical replicates for each biological replicate).
