Cullin3

For Western blot, cell lysates (30 mg) were loaded on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore), which were then incubated with the indicated primary antibodies overnight. Corresponding secondary antibodies were incubated with the membranes for 1 h, and the membranes were then photographed with a Tanon 5200 visualizer (Shanghai, China). Primary antibodies to the following proteins were used: UBC12, UBA3, cullin1, cullin2, cullin5, p21, NOXA (Abcam), NAE, cullin3, NEDD8, cullin4A, p27, Wee1, p-H3, ORC1, CDT1, p-H2AX, t-H2AX, ATF4, CHOP, DR5, cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 8, and cleaved-caspase 3 (Cell Signaling, Boston, MA); cullin4B (Protein Tech); and β-actin (Protein Tech). For CHX-chase assays, cells were treated with 50 μg/mL CHX (Sigma) for the indicated times, and the band density in Western blot was quantified in Image J software.

Lipofectamine 2000 transfection and TRIZOL LS Reagents were purchased from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY, USA). Antibodies against Cullin3, NF-κB, Twist and FZD10 were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, BRMS1, Fibronectin and β-actin antibodies were from Cell Signaling technology (Danvers, MA, USA). Anti-α-catenin antibody was from BD (Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Unless otherwise noted, all other chemicals were from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA).
