Western blotting of whole cell extract was performed as described previously [13 (link)]. Target proteins were detected with the primary antibodies listed above and secondary horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG (GE Healthcare) and visualized using the ECL plus chemiluminescence system (GE Healthcare).
Immunofluorescence staining was carried out as described previously [15 (link)] using Alexa-488-conjugated anti-rabbit or Alexa-594-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Molecular Probes) to visualize the localization of target proteins.
