CARD11 DI variants disrupt CARD11-dependent signaling pathways to different extents. (A) Immunoblot analysis of JNK and NF-κB signaling in WT Jurkat cells transiently transfected with empty vector (EV), WT, or DI CARD11 variants stimulated for 30 or 60 min with 20 ng/ml PMA and 1 μg/ml ionomycin (P/I). (B) Quantitation of the fold change of specified proteins over baseline from immunoblots in A; n = 3. (C and D) Flow cytometric analysis of WT NF-κB-EGFP Jurkat cells transfected as in A and stimulated with 1 μg/ml anti-CD3/anti-CD28 antibodies or P/I for 6 h. (C) Quantitation of the mean fluorescent intensity (top) or %GFP+ cells (bottom; n = 4). (D) Representative histograms demonstrating the GFP+ gate (dashed lines) and %GFP+ cells (numbers) summarized in C. (E) Representative immunoblot from transfected cells in C and D. (F) Representative immunoblot from transfected cells in G and H. (G and H) Flow cytometric analysis of WT Jurkat cells transfected as in A in addition to an AP-1–driven GFP reporter and stimulated with P/I for 6 h. (G) Quantitation of the %GFP+ cells (n = 3). (H) Representative histograms demonstrating the GFP+ gate (dashed lines) and %GFP+ cells (numbers) summarized in G. (I) Quantitation of the fold change in AP-1 family member DNA binding, normalized to unstimulated WT (NS) for each family member, in WT Jurkat stably transduced with WT or L194P and stimulated with P/I for 2 h (n = 3). Immunoblots are representative of three independent experiments. Error bars indicate the SEM. Asterisks denote significance by (B) one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test or (C, G, and I) two-way ANOVA with Šídák’s multiple comparisons test. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; and ****P < 0.0001. EV, empty vector; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; and NS/No stim., no stimulus. Source data are available for this figure: SourceData F3.
