Figure 1From: Proteasome-mediated degradation antagonizes critical levels of the apoptosis-inducing C1D proteinPersistence of ectopically expressed EGFP, and instability of C1D(EGFP). Percentage of cells exhibiting fluorescence following transient transfection of cultured EAT cells side by side with 20 μg pcDNA3-EGFP or with pcDNA3-C1D(EGFP), respectively. The fraction of cells with significant EGFP-depending fluorescence remains high over the entire observation period (24–120 hours post transfection) while the number of cells with C1D(EGFP)-depending fluorescence is lower at 24 hours, and declines rapidly at 72–120 hours post transfection.Back to article page
