We generated plasmids encoding various truncated mutants of UCP, pVHL and wild-type UbcH5c for expression in bacterial cells or mammalian cells [9 (link)]. For bacterial expression, plasmids were constructed by ligating PCR products into pET28a (Novagen, WI, USA) and pGEX-4T-1 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, WI, USA), and for mammalian expression, pFlag-CMV1 (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA), pEBG and pcDNA3-HA (Invitrogen, CA, USA) were used. Mutants of UCP and VHL were generated based on the wild-type genes using a PCR method [16 (link)].
