The c-Maf and Otub1 plasmids were subcloned into a pcDNA3.1 vector carrying an HA, or Myc tag. The luciferase reporter driven by c-Maf recognition element (MARE) (5′-TGCGAGTGAGGCA-3′) (pGL4-MARE.Luci) was synthesized by GeneWiz, Inc. (Suzhou, Jiangsu, China) [7 (link)]. The Otub1-siRNA and control-siRNA were purchased from Ribobio Inc. (Guangzhou, China) [11 ].
The antibodies used for Western blot were as follows: anti-Otub1 and anti-Ub were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Co. Ltd (Santa Cruz, CA); anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase (GAPDH), anti-integrin beta 7 (ITGB7) and anti-c-Maf were from Proteintech Group, Inc. (Wuhan, China); anti-HA and anti-Myc were obtained from MBL Biotech Co., (Beijing, China); anti-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), anti-Caspase 3 and anti-cyclin D2 (CCND2) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA). Antibodies of Otud4, Otud5, and Otud7b were provided by Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Haimen, China).
