The protein samples were electrophoresed in the 6%–15% gradient polyacrylamide gels and blotted onto the PVDF membrane (Amersham Hybond P 0.45 PVDF blotting membrane, Cytiva). The proteins of interest were probed using the primary antibodies, that is, mouse anti‐Myc tag (Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti‐DDDDK (FLAG) tag (Genetex), rabbit anti‐histone H3 (R&D), rabbit anti‐CRABP2 (Proteintech), and peroxidase‐conjugated anti‐rabbit or anti‐mouse secondary antibodies. The proteins were then detected based on chemiluminescence (ECL Prime Western Blotting System, Cytiva) using Fusion FX7 imager (Vilber Lourmat). Regarding the densitometric analysis, immunoblot band intensities were quantified using the ImageJ software (Schneider et al., 2012 (link)). For the analysis of NR2F1 interaction with dimeric partners (NR2F1, NR2F2, and RXR) by conventional IP and GCE‐enabled photocrosslinking IP, the band intensity of the co‐IP Myc‐tagged partner was divided by the intensity of each FLAG‐NR2F1 variant (WT or mutants) (R1 = Myc‐partner/FLAG‐NR2F1). A final normalized intensity value (Rfin) presented in the plot was obtained by normalizing R1 of from each NR2F1 variant (R1var) against R1 from wild‐type NR2F1 (R1wt) (Rfin = R1var/R1wt, Rfin = 1 for NR2F1 WT).

Total proteins were extracted from cell pellets corresponding to 2 to 5 ODs, as previously described45 (link). Briefly, cell lysis was performed on ice using 0.3 M NaOH and 1% beta-mercaptoethanol prior to protein precipitation with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (7% final). Following full speed centrifugation, pellets were resuspended in HU loading buffer and heat-denaturated at 70˚C. Soluble fractions were recovered, and samples were analyzed by standard immunoblotting procedures using 1:3000 peroxydase-conjugated antiperoxydase (PAP, to detect protein-A-tagged proteins) (Sigma, #P1291, RRID:AB_1079562), 1:3000 monoclonal anti-FLAG antibody (Sigma, #F3165, RRID:AB_259529), 1:3000 anti-CDC2 antibody (Abcam, #ab5467, RRID:AB_2074778), 1:1000 anti-GFP antibody (Roche, # 11814460001, RRID: AB_390913), 1:500 anti-CBP antibody (Millipore, #07-482, RRID:AB_310653), 1:5000 goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, #sc-2005, RRID:AB_631736) and 1:5000 goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, #sc-2004, RRID:AB_631746). Detection was done with SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific, #34080), ECL Select reagent (GE Healthcare, #RPN2235), and a Vilber Lourmat Fusion Fx7 imager.

Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and quantified using NanoDrop 2000. Two μg of total RNA was transcribed into cDNA with the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen), and qRT-PCR performed with QuantiFast SYBR Green (Qiagen) with QuantiTect primer assays (Supplementary Table S2A) on the ABI 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). The relative expression of each target gene was calculated using 2−ΔΔCT.
For protein expression analysis, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors (Sigma Aldrich), and the total protein concentration was measured using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher). Equal amounts of protein were separated on SDS polyacrylamide gels, transferred onto PVDF membranes, and protein expression was detected using antibodies listed in Supplementary Table S2B. Images were taken on a Fusion Fx7 imager (Vilber) and bands quantified using ImageJ (National Institute of Health). In addition, EDI3 and HER2 protein expression was analysed with immunocytochemistry, as described in Supplementary Methods.
EDI3 activity was measured employing a modified version of the Amplex® Red Phospholipase D Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), as previously described [11 (link)].

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.
