"To confirm this interaction, we overexpressed OTUD3-Myc and KPTN-Flag in HEK-293T cells and performed immunoprecipitation experiments, which showed a clear interaction between the two proteins ( xref )."

sparser
"To test this hypothesis, we transfected KPTN shRNA into PTEN-KO HeLa cells exogenously expressing OTUD3-Myc, observing whether OTUD3 could still inhibit the mTORC1 signaling pathway in the absence of both PTEN and KPTN."

sparser
"Thus, to explore this issue we transiently transfected wild-type HeLa cells with OTUD3-Myc and catalytically inactive OTUD3C76A-Myc, using HeLa cells transfected with an empty vector as a control."

sparser
"In subsequent experiments, we exogenously expressed OTUD3-Myc in PTEN-knockout HeLa cells and subjected these cells to time-gradient amino acid starvation or amino acid starvation followed by stimulation."

sparser
"Additionally, we transfected OTUD3-Myc as an experimental group in HeLa cells with endogenous OTUD3 knocked out or HeLa cells with endogenous KPTN knocked out."

sparser
"We reintroduced exogenous OTUD3-Myc and catalytically inactive OTUD3C76A-Myc into these cells and subjected them to a time gradient of amino acid starvation or amino acid stimulation after starvation."

sparser
"We performed co-immunoprecipitation with KPTN-Flag using OTUD3-Myc and OTUD3C76A-Myc and found that the enzymatically inactive OTUD3C76A retains its ability to interact with KPTN-Flag ( xref )."

sparser
"Overexpressed KPTN-Flag and Ub-HA HEK-293T cells, along with varying levels of OTUD3-Myc or enzymatically inactive OTUD3C76A-Myc, were established."

sparser
"Myc-OTUD3 and Flag-SMAD1-7 expressing vectors were co-transfected into HEK293T cells, and the cell lysate was subjected to co-immunoprecipitation."

sparser
"Interestingly, in wild-type HeLa cells overexpressing OTUD3-Myc, although the phosphorylation trend of S6K1 was similar, the overall phosphorylation level was significantly reduced compared to wild-type HeLa cells ( xref )."

sparser
"Our study revealed that in HeLa cells expressing either wild-type OTUD3-Myc or catalytically inactive OTUD3C76A-Myc, the phosphorylation trend of S6K1 was similar."

sparser
"This might be due to the transient overexpression of exogenous OTUD3-Myc leading to significantly higher protein levels than the stable overexpression of endogenous OTUD3, resulting in higher suppression of the mTORC1 signaling pathway and influencing HeLa cell proliferation rates."

sparser
"However, when compared to HeLa cells overexpressing wild-type OTUD3-Myc, HeLa cells overexpressing catalytically inactive OTUD3C76A-Myc exhibited an overall increase in S6K1 phosphorylation levels, which were closer to those of the wild-type HeLa control group ( xref )."

sparser
"This finding indicates that the upregulation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway caused by PTEN-KO cells can be suppressed by exogenous expression of OTUD3-Myc."

sparser
"In KPTN-knockout HeLa cells, we exogenously transfected OTUD3-Myc and empty vector, subjecting these cells to time-gradient amino acid starvation or amino acid starvation followed by stimulation."

sparser
"Moreover, during amino acid starvation, HeLa cells overexpressing wild-type OTUD3-Myc showed a faster decrease in S6K1 phosphorylation levels, while during amino acid stimulation after starvation, the increase was slower."

sparser
"The results indicated that in KPTN-knockout HeLa cells, exogenously expressed OTUD3-Myc did not exhibit the same ability to significantly reduce the overall phosphorylation level of S6K1 as shown previously, and the levels were comparable to those of KPTN-knockout cells transfected with the empty vector ( xref )."

sparser
"To determine whether the OTUD3-TP53 interaction was direct, we generated and purified recombinant Myc-OTUD3, Myc-D1 and Myc-D2."
