(E) Cells were transfected with pShooter™ together with control or UBQLN (1+2) siRNA. Expression of pShooter was comparable in control and UBQLN‐KD cells (top). Cells were starved for 3 or 6 h, and the intensity of GFP was quantified by flow cytometry (bottom). The fluorescence value obtained with controls (no starvation) was considered as 100%, and the value obtained for the 3‐ and 6‐h time points was normalized to controls. The graph represents the mean±s.e. of four assessments.
