Figure 4. Nrf1 interacts with the TIP60 complex. (A) Wild-type (WT) and Nrf1-/- NIH-3T3 cell lines were treated with 200 nM carfilzomib (CFZ) for 8 hours. The cells were then subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with one of IgG, Nrf1, RUVBL1, or TIP60 antibodies. These samples were then analyzed by quantitative PCR with primers specific for antioxidant response element (ARE)- containing promoter regions of proteasome genes PSMA7, PSMB7, and PSMD12. Error bars denote SD (n=3). (B) HEK293 cells stably expressing tagged Nrf1 (Nrf13xFLAG) were treated or not with 200 nM CFZ for 8 hours.
