(A) Chemical structures of candidate inhibitors. (B) Precleared ES2 cell lysate was incubated with compounds (20 μM) or vehicle (DMSO, 1:100) for 45 min and then with RA190B (5 μM) for 45 min at 4°C. Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE, transfer to PVDF membrane, and after probing with HRP-streptavidin, binding was detected using chemiluminescence. (C) ES2 cells were treated with compounds (1 μM, 4 hr), lysed and the samples probed with ubiquitin or actin-specific antibody by Western blot.</p
