At 72 h post-transfection, cellular proteins were extracted from HeLa cells with
RIPA buffer (Boston BioProducts, Boston, MA, USA) containing 5 mM sodium fluoride (NaF), 1 mM sodium vanadate (Na
3VO
4), and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), supplemented with 1%
Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (100X, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Protein concentration was measured with the Bradford Assay. 50 µg of protein was loaded and separated in an 8% polyacrylamide SDS-gel and electrotransferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies, followed by incubation with matching HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. Color development was carried out using the ECL reagents (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). GAPDH was detected and the results were used as protein loading controls. The primary antibodies used were:
anti-ZFX (1:1000, Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA) and
anti-GAPDH (1:1000, Santa Cruz, TX, USA).
