using T-PERTM Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific). The cell
lysate was then analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and
transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking in 5% skim milk, the membranes
were probed overnight at 4°C with anti-V5-tag monoclonal antibody (1:500, M167-3; MBL
International, Woburn, MA, USA) or anti-HA-tag polyclonal antibody (1:500, 561; MBL
International). After washing three times in 0.05% Tween in TBS, the membranes were
incubated for 1 h at RT with secondary antibody: anti-mouse IgG HRP-linked whole antibody
(1:5,000, NA931; GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Issaquah, WA, USA) or anti-rabbit IgG
HRP-linked whole antibody (1:5,000, NA934; GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and detected using
an iBrightTM CL1000 Imaging System (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
