The full length cDNA of WT mouse HuR was purchased from the German Resource Center for Genome Research (RZPD). The V5-HuR WT plasmid was constructed by PCR using a 5′ oligonucleotide containing the V5 tag sequence and being subcloned into a pcDNA3.3-TOPO vector (K830001, Invitrogen).66 (link) SUMOylation sites on HuR were predicted experimentally by mutation of lysine residues into arginine. The SUMOylation mutant HuR plasmid constructs were created using the QuickChange site-directed mutagenesis kit (200518, Stratagene), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with two complementary oligonucleotides and with pcDNA3.3-TOPO-V5-HuR WT plasmid as template. Products were sequenced by STAB vida. Plasmid DNA was purified after bacterial transformation and amplification, using NucleoBond Xtra Midi Plus kit (740412, Macherey-Nagel), by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
