Figure 15: The <strong>degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>FAT10</strong>-DHFR by <strong>the</strong> 26S proteasome <strong>in</strong> vitro is <strong>in</strong>dependent<br />

<strong>of</strong> ubiquitylation but relies on NUB1L. The Y-axis always represents percent <strong>of</strong><br />

acid soluble counts per hour. The <strong>in</strong> vitro reactions were performed with <strong>the</strong> components<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicated above each panel. Inhib. refers to <strong>degradation</strong> obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

presence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> specific proteasome <strong>in</strong>hibitor epoxomyc<strong>in</strong>e. (A) Antizyme (AZ) dependent<br />

<strong>degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> ornith<strong>in</strong> decarboxylase (ODC) as positive control for 26S proteasome<br />

activity. (B) HA-Ubiquit<strong>in</strong>-DHFR (Ub-DHFR) is not significanly degraded by <strong>the</strong><br />

purified 26S proteasome. (C) NUB1L-dependent <strong>degradation</strong> <strong>of</strong> HA-<strong>FAT10</strong>-DHFR by<br />

purified 26S proteasome. A small <strong>and</strong> a normal sized (+) sign designate <strong>degradation</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> low (2ng) <strong>and</strong> high (20ng) amounts <strong>of</strong> NUB1L, respectively.<br />
