The luciferase reporter assay was performed as described previously (2 (link)). In short, 4D6 cells were cotransfected with a renilla control plasmid (pRL Promega) and a luciferase reporter plasmid (pGL4.10[Luc2], Promega) under the control of a minimal wild-type Psmb11 promoter (designated β5t-luc) or a β5t promoter with a mutated FOXN1-binding sites (β5t-mut-luc) plus a FOXN1 construct of interest in a ratio of 1:10:10. Luciferease activity was measured 24 hours later using the Dual-Lucifearase Assay kit (Promega).
