Figure Lengend Snippet: BubR1 phosphorylation at Thr 620 promotes its ubiquitination by FBXW7 a HEK293T cells were co-expressed withBubR1-WT-GFP or BubR1-T620A-GFP or BubR1-T620D-GFP together with FLAG-FBXW7 for 18 h followed by mitotic synchronization using thymidine followed by the addition of MG132. Then GFP-tagged BubR1 was immunoprecipitated with GFP antibody and levels of FLAG-FBXW7 were compared by immunoblotting with FLAG antibody. b The histogram plot shows the relative intensity of FLAG-FBXW7 normalized to corresponding BubR1-WT-GFP or BubR1-T620A-GFP or BubR1-T620D-GFP level. c HEK293T cells were co-expressed with BubR1-WT-GFP or BubR1-T620A-GFP or BubR1-T620D-GFP together with FLAG-FBXW7 and HA-Ub and the lysates of cells after mitotic synchronization by thymidine release followed by MG132 were probed for HA-Ub. d Recombinant MBP-tagged BubR1-408–774-WT or MBP-tagged BubR1-408–774-T620A or MBP-tagged BubR1-408–774-T620D bound with amylose resin was incubated separately with a mixture of SCFFBXW7 components, Myc-Skp-1, Myc-Cul-1, HA-Rbx-1, and FLAG-FBXW7, followed by E1, E2, Ub, and ATP. SCFFBXW7component were isolated from HEK293T cells as described in Methods. Samples were immunoblotted for BubR1 and ubiquitin by antibodies. e Lysates of mitotic synchronized HEK293T cells transfected with BubR1-WT-GFP or BubR1-T620A-GFP or BubR1-T620D-GFP for 18 h followed by mitotic synchronization by thymidine release followed by MG132 addition were subjected to Cdc20 immunoprecipitation and probed for GFP-tagged BubR1 protein levels
