Protein samples were separated on a 4–15% TGX gel (Bio-Rad, USA) and blotted onto a PVDF membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk powder dissolved in PBS. Primary antibody was incubated with membrane overnight at 4 °C. Following morning, membranes were washed in PBS + T two times for 10-min and incubated with secondary antibody (Agilent, USA) for 60 min at room temperature. After three times of 5-min washes in PBS+T proteins were detected with Super-Signal West Pico Chemiluminescent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and developed with a ChemiDoc MP instrument (Bio-Rad, USA). Following antibodies were used in this study: Monoclonal Anti-FLAG M2 antibody (F3165, Anti-Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and Anti-RBP1 antibody (ab140509, abcam, UK). Uncropped gel pictures can be found in the Source Data file.

Samples were first collected by lysing in either RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0; 150 mM sodium chloride; 1% (v/v) Triton X-100; 0.5% (w/v) sodium deoxycholate; 0.1% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) or 1× SDS-PAGE sample buffer. In either case, HALT protease inhibitor cocktail and EDTA were included at 1× and 0.5 mM final concentrations, respectively (Thermo# 78438). In vivo samples were collected as done before by scraping intestinal tissue with a clean scalpel and transferring the liberated epithelium to a fresh microcentrifuge tube (Kao et al., 2017 (link); Zheng et al., 2017 (link)). Samples were sonicated as needed to reduce viscosity. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE using standard techniques (Brunelle and Green, 2014 (link)) and transferred to PVDF for blotting. Blots were blocked in 5% (w/v) nonfat dry milk and probed with antibodies listed in the Key Resources Table. Blots were developed using Clarity Max ECL reagent and imaged using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc MP instrument.

Cells were treated with 250 nM ACBI1, cis-ACBI1, or matched DMSO control for 24 h and then harvested for protein lysate preparation. To make lysates, cold lysis buffer containing 5 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 150 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 1% Triton X-100, 0.001M PMSF, and 1X Roche protease inhibitor cocktail was used to collect the cells after treatment. The cells were sonicated for 15 s at 25% power and centrifuged to remove cellular debris. To determine protein concentration, the BioRad Bradford assay was used with bovine serum albumin as a standard protein. Then, 15–30 μg of protein per sample was separated by SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a PVDF membrane (PerkinElmer, Shelton, CT, USA). Membranes were placed in 5% milk made in TBS-T (150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, 0.1% Tween-20) to block unspecific interactions. The antibodies used for immunoblotting were BRG1 (Cell Signaling, 49360, Danvers, MA, USA), GAPDH-HRP (Cell Signaling, 8884), JUN (Cell Signaling, 9165), JUNB (Cell Signaling, 3753), and JUND (Cell Signaling, 5000). The Clarity ECL substrate (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) was used to visualize bands on a Bio-Rad Chemidoc MP instrument.

For western blot, a standard SDS-PAGE gel was prepared according to the Laemmli protocol20 (link) with modifications according to Ladner et al.21 (link). Precision Plus Protein Dual Xtra (Bio-Rad Laboratories) was used as molecular weight standard in 1:10 dilution. The proteins in the gel were transferred to a low-fluorescence PVDF blotting membrane in a semi-dry blot procedure (15 min, 25 V. 1.3 A, Trans-Blot® TurboTM instrument, Bio-Rad Laboratories) using the Trans-Blot® TurboTM RTA transfer kit. The membrane was blocked with AdvanBlock-PF blocking solution for 30 min, incubated with “8-4-4” anti-His-tag antibody (3.3 mg/L in blocking solution, 60 min) and washed with AdvanWashTM washing solution (3 × 5 min).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
