Proteins were precipitated from lysates in 20% trichloroacetic acid in acetone as previously described 15 , and protein pellets were resuspended in 50μl of sample buffer (65mM CHAPS, 5M urea, 2M thiourea, 0.15M NDSB-256, 30mM Tris, 1mM sodium vanadate, 0.1mM sodium fluoride, and 1mM benzamidine). Protein quantitation was done with Coomassie Plus protein reagent (Thermo Scientific) following manufacturer's protocol.
Protein separation by SDS-PAGE and subsequent immunoblotting were carried out as indicated in the Supplemental Methods. The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-human p-PLCγ2 (Y759) (MAB7377, R&D systems) dilution 1/300; rabbit anti-p-Syk (Y525+Y526) (ab58575, Abcam) dilution 1/1000; rabbit anti-p-Src(Y418) (44660G, Fisher Scientific), dilution 1/1000; mouse anti-PLCγ2 (sc-5283, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) dilution 1/500; mouse anti-Syk (sc-1240, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) dilution 1/1000; rabbit anti-Src pan (44-656G,Invitrogen), dilution 1/1000. Further information on the statistical analysis can be found in the Supplemental Methods.
