Regulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors by E6-Associated Protein

Figure 4

E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of E6-AP is required for regulating PPAR transactivation. (a) 293T cells were transfected with plasmids expressing 4X-ACO-Luciferase, pRLCMV, PPAR , E6-AP, or E6-AP-C833S that is defective in ubiquitin ligase function. (b) Cells were treated with 0.1% DMSO or 5  M MG132 for 6 hours. Cells were lysed and luciferase activity was corrected for transfection efficiency and protein. Asterisks indicate a significant difference when compared to the corresponding 0 ratio group. (* with statistical analysis using ANOVA). The graph is representative of 3 independent experiments.
