For detecting interaction between Pes4–3HA and LacI-GFP, the immunoprecipitation protocol described for Pes4–3HA was used with the following modifications: 50μM copper sulfate was added in SPM at 0 hour for expressing LacI-GFP. After loading the samples in 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast protein gel (BIO-RAD, Catalog #4561094), the samples were resolved at 150V for 90 minutes and transferred onto a PVDF membrane.
The primary antibodies used were rabbit anti-GFP (generous gift of Dr. Claire Walczak, 1:10000), and anti-HA mouse (12CA5 Roche, Catalog # 11583816001, 1:1000). The secondary antibodies used were ECL-anti-rabbit HRP IgG (GE Healthcare, NA9340V, 1:10000), and ECL-anti-mouse HRP IgG (GE Healthcare, NA9310V, 1:10000).
