Figure 4. SIRT6 promotes the ubiquitination of p27. (A) 293 cells were transfected with SIRT6 and vector, twenty four hours after transfection, cells were treated with MG132 or acetyl-leu-leu-norleucinal (ALLN) 5 h before harvesting. Proteins were analyzed by western blot. (B) An in vivo ubiquitination assay was performed. 293 cells were transiently transfected with SIRT6 and vector, siRNA-SIRT6 and NC (negative control). Forty two hours later, cells were treated with MG132 for 5 h. Cells were lysed and proceeded for co-immunoprecipitation using the p27 antibody.
