2% (w/v) SDS, 5% β-mercaptoethanol, 10% (v/v)
glycerol, and 0.5% (w/v) bromophenol blue). Equal volumes of lysates
were loaded onto 4–20% or 7.5% PAGE gels (TGX, Biorad)
and electrophoresed in 1X SDS PAGE running buffer, followed by transfer to PVDF
membrane (Immobilon-P, Millipore). Blots were incubated with antibodies specific
to CPSF1 (Bethyl, A301-580, 1:1000), AR (Santa Cruz Santa Cruz Biotechnology
N-20, 1:2000), extracellular signal-regulated kinase-2 (ERK-2; Santa Cruz
Biotechnology D-2, 1:4000), and AR-V7 (Precision Antibodies, 1:1000).
HRP-conjugated goat-anti-mouse (#sc 2005, lot#D1515), and
goat-anti-rabbit (#sc 2004, lot#B1315) secondary antibodies were
obtained from Santa Cruz and were used at 1:10000 dilution. Blots were incubated
in enhanced chemiluminescence substrate (WesternBright, Advansta
#K12045-D50 or SuperSignal West Pico, Thermo #1859674) and
exposed to X-ray film for chemiluminescence detection.
