To determine whether these Vif mutants can bind to CBF-β and other factors in the CUL5 E3 ligase complex, HEK293T cells were transfected with 1 µg of WT or mutant Vif expression vector in six-well plates. To assess the interaction between Vif and A3G or A3F, the ratio of Vif to A3G or A3F was 1∶3 (0.5 µg and 1.5 µg). MG132 (Sigma, cat. no. C2211) at the final concentration of 10 µM was added to the cells 12 h before harvest. Cells were harvested, washed twice with cold PBS and resuspended in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% [v/v] NP-40 and complete protease inhibitor cocktail tablets) at 4°C for 30 min, followed by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 30 min. MG132 was dissolved in DMSO and made at the stock concentration of 10 mM. For HA-tag immunoprecipitation, pre-cleared cell lysates were mixed with anti-HA antibody-conjugated agarose beads (Roche) and incubated at 4°C for 3 h. Samples were then washed six times with washing buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], with 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA and 0.05% [v/v] Tween-20). The beads were eluted with elution buffer (0.1 mM glycine-HCl, pH 2.0) or 4× loading buffer. The eluted materials were subsequently analyzed by immunoblotting.

Agarose beads were washed several times with cold Tris buffer containing 1 mM Tris, pH 7.4, and 15 mM NaCl (TBS) and blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin in TBS. Whole lysates were precleared with agarose beads and then incubated overnight (rocking at 4°C) with cleaved Notch1 antibody. Whole cell lysates were added onto new pellets of agarose beads (previously blocked with bovine serum albumin) and incubated for 3 h in a rocking wheel at 4°C. Finally, the supernatant was removed and beads were washed several times with cold 1 × TBS-T (TBS supplemented with 0.05% Tween). Proteins were eluted with 2 × Laemmli buffer supplemented with dithiothreitol and denatured for 5 min at 99°C.

The in vivo CENP-A ubiquitylation assay was performed as described previously with the following minor modifications (Niikura et al., 2015 ). HeLa Tet-Off cells were transfected with the indicated expression vectors (see Cell Culture and Transfection) and incubated with 5 µM MG132 (CALBIOCHEM) for 24 h. Cells were then collected and lysed in denaturing buffer A1 (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 50 mM NaCl, 0.5% Nonidet P-40, 0.5% deoxycholate, 0.5% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, 50 µM MG132, and complete EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail [Roche]) by a sonication and freeze-thaw process. Proteins were immunoprecipitated, and the immunoprecipitates underwent Western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies.
For CENP-A−/F RPE1 cells, the experiment was performed according to the time-course scheme in Figure S2A. Cells were infected with retroviruses harboring the indicated vector constructs, cultured (see Cell Culture and Transfection in Experimental Procedures), collected 6 days after retro-Cre infection, lysed, and analyzed as described for the HeLa Tet-Off cells.

The plasmid pCI-His-Ub (31815; Addgene) was a gift from A. Winoto (University of California, Berkeley), and plasmid pHA-Ubiquitin (18712; Addgene) was a gift from E. Yeh (University of Texas, Houston). The plasmid encoding TRIM22 was from GeneCopoeia. Cells were transfected with vectors encoding V5-EMCV 3C and His-Ub using X-tremeGene 9 (Roche) and, 36 h later, were treated for 14 h with 20 μM MG-132 (or not) before lysis and Immunoblot analysis. For analysis of the ubiquitination of EMCV 3C, cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with mAb to V5 conjugated to agarose (V5-10; Sigma), followed by elution with 1% SDS, subsequent dilution to 0.1% SDS, reprecipitation with mAb to V5 (identified above), and immunoblot analysis with mAb to HA-tagged ubiquitin (HA-7; Sigma) followed by anti-V5 (identified above).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
