Overexpressed either GFP, wild-type (WT) NFIX or a phospho-dead mutant of NFIX in which eight serine residues surrounding S286 were mutated to alanine (S265/267/268/271/272/273/274/275A) was performed C2C12 cells prior to the induction of myogenesis. Cells were harvest 2 days post induction of myogensis with 2% horse serum.
