Abstract:
Objective To investigate whether human RhoA is modified by SUMO. Methods Overlap extension PCR and double digestion technique were used to construct the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3-3flag-RhoA, which was identified by sequencing. The plasmid was transfected into HEK293T cells and its expression was detected by Western blotting. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect whether RhoA is co-localized with SUMO. Co-Immunoprecipitation was used to detect whether RhoA is modified by SUMO. Results The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-3flag-RhoA was successfully constructed and verified. Western blotting showed that the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-3flag-RhoA expressed abundant fusion protein in HEK293T cells. Immunofluorescence showed that RhoA was co-localized with SUMO2/3 but not with SUMO1. Co-immunoprecipitation verified that RhoA was modified by SUMO2/3 but not SUMO1. Conclusion Human RhoA is modified by SUMO2/3 and probably participates in the regulation of axon regrowth after nervous system injury.
