Polyclonal rabbit antibodies to PKBA and PKBR1 were raised against the peptides, KNSDRKKRVNG and KKGNKNDETTP, respectively. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies to RacE and phospho-RacE (serine 192) were raised against the peptide REQQHPDPNSGKF and the phosphopeptide GMDKK(pS)QDGSS. Immunocomplexes were visualized using fluorescent-labeled secondary antibodies and detected using a Bio-Rad PharosFX Plus molecular imager. Images were analyzed using NIH ImageJ. The detailed information about the antibodies used in this study is provided in Supplementary Table 4.

Cells were lysed with lysis buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% Triton X-100, 12.5 mM b-glycerophosphate, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 2 mM ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid, 10 mM NaF, and 1 mM Na3VO4) containing protease inhibitors (Roche). Western blot was performed by standard procedures; primary antibodies used in this study: anti-Oct4 (Santa Cruz, sc-365509), anti-Rbm46 (sigma, HPA050601), beta-Actin (santa cruz, sc-47778), Pabpc1 (AVIVA, OAAB01699), GSK-3 (Millipore, 05–412), SSEA-1(Millipore, FCMAB117P). Proteins were visualized with an Odyssey Two-Color Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For Flag immunoprecipitaion, Flag M2 beads (Sigma, F1804) were utilized according to the manufacturer’s protocal.

Quantitative Western Blot Analysis

Whole-cell lysates were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes. Membranes were incubated with monoclonal antibodies against: GSK-3 (1:1000, Millipore Sigma, cat. no. 05-412), MITF (1:1000, SAB, cat. no. 33138), TYR (1:500, Abcam, cat. no. ab170905), TYRP1 (1:1000, Santa Cruz, cat. no. sc-166857), TYRP2 (1:1000, Santa Cruz, cat. no. sc-74439), and GAPDH (1:5000, Bioworld Technology, cat. no. AP0063). Bound antibodies were detected by incubation with secondary antibodies followed by enhanced chemiluminescence and visualized with a ChemiDoc XRS system. All the blots were accompanied by quantization and data were expressed as fold change of the densitometry value (normalized to the loading control) compared to the control using Image J software.

Protein concentration, gel electrophoresis and transfer, and blotting were done as previously reported (72 (link)). In some instances, blots were stripped by incubation with 1× Western Reprobe (G-Biosciences, 786-119) for 45 minutes at 55°C followed by 3 washes with Tris-buffered saline with TWEEN-20 (CST, 9997) at room temperature. Antibodies used for Western blot studies were as follows: JAG2-N-terminal (CST, C23D2, 1:1000); JAG2-C-terminal (CST, C83A8, 1:1000); GSK3 (MilliporeSigma, 05-412, 1:2000); pGSK3 (MilliporeSigma, 0-413, 1:1000); TOP2A (Abcam, 109524, 1:10000); ATP1A1 (CST, 3010S, 1:2500); JAG1-C-terminal (BD, 612346, 1:1000); TUBA1A (MilliporeSigma, T6793, 1:2000); N-terminal β-catenin (CTNNB1, CST, 9581X, 1:1000); and C-terminal CTNNB1 (BD, 610154, 1:2000).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
