The mammalian expression plasmid constructs for RELT, RELL1, RELL2, RFRV mutant
of RELT [8 (link)] and MACH 360
C/S [21 (link)] were described
previously. Expression constructs for TRAF2, TRAF2-RING, CrmA and Fadd DN were a
kind gift from D. Goeddel. The MEKK3 plasmid was a kind gift from G. Johnson.
The human tissue extracts, monoclonal anti-RELT (C-6), p38 alpha/beta (A-12) and
GADPH antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc. (Santa Cruz,
CA). The RELT polyclonal antibody (AF1385) was purchased from R&D systems
(Minneapolis MN). The phospho-p38 (D3F9), mouse anti-DYKDDDDK (equivalent to
FLAG) tag and rabbit anti-HA antibody were purchased from Cell Signaling
Technology, Inc. (Danvers, MA). IR-800 and IR-680 secondary antibodies were
purchased from LI-COR Biosciences (Lincoln, NE). TUNEL staining kit was
purchased from Roche Diagnostics (Mannheim, Germany). The CHOP luciferase
trans-reporting system and QuickChange site-directed mutagenesis kit were
purchased from Stratagene (La Jolla, CA).
