All antibodies used are listed in
Table S7. Anti-MASTL rabbit polyclonal and phospho-specific antibodies against Ser875 were generated as previously described (Burgess et al., 2010 (
link); Vigneron et al., 2011 (
link)). The following chemicals were used:
RO3306 (Axon MedChem), okadaic acid sodium salt (A.G. Scientifix),
nocodazole (Sigma-Aldrich), thymidine 2′-deoxycytidine hydrate (Santa Cruz Biotechnology),
protease inhibitor cocktail (PIC) (Sigma-Aldrich),
adenosine 5′-triphosphate (New England Biolabs), (
S)-MG132 (Cayman Chemicals),
iodoacetamide (Sigma-Aldrich) and TCEP-hydrochloride (ThermoFisher Scientific). PDP3 peptide (Reither et al., 2013 (
link)) was synthesised using H-Rink Amide ChemMatrix resin at a loading concentration of 0.52 mmol/g. Automated and manual solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), preparative and analytical high-performance liquid chromatography and analytical LC-MS was performed as described previously (Mitchell et al., 2015 (
link)).
