V5-tagged PD-L1 transduced CMTM6 knockout A375 cells were cultured in
methionine- and cysteine-free medium for 1h at 37°C. Cells were then
pulse labeled with 0.5 mCi/ml [35S]Cys/[35S]Met
(PerkinElmer) for 1 hour. Cells were washed with PBS to remove residual
[35S]Cys/[35S]Met, and then cultured in regular medium
with extra ‘cold’ methionine and cysteine for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6h.
Cell samples were lysed and used for immunoprecipitation with anti-V5 antibody
(ThermoFisher) immobilized on protein A or protein G coated beads
(ThermoFisher). Immunoprecipitates were either left untreated or treated with
EndoH or PNGaseF (New England Biolabs), according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Immunoprecipitates were run on NuPAGE 4-12% gels. Gels were treated with
1M NaSalicylate pH5.6 before drying, and then analysed on Fujifilm BAS-MP
phosphor imager screens. Quantification was performed using a Fujifilm FLA-3000
phosphorimager and AIDA image analyzer software. Gels were exposed to film using
intensifier screens at -80 C.
