confirmed by PCR using primers HDAC6-F: 5’-catcttcaagaggatcagagg and
HDAC6-R: 5’-catagctagacactggtt. Electron microscopy of platelets was
performed as described in ref.41 (link). Immunostaining of resting and fibrinogen spread platelets
was performed as described in ref.33 (link) and analyzed by Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM,
Elyra S.1, Zeiss, Heidelberg, D.E). Total protein lysates were obtained from
platelets for immunoblot analysis as described in ref.55 (link). The following antibodies were used for SIM
and immunoblot analysis: rabbit anti-HDAC6 (clone D2E5, Cell Signaling
technology, Danvers, MA, USA), mouse anti-acetylated tubulin antibody (clone
6-11B-1, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), mouse anti-alpha-tubulin (A11126, Thermo
Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), rabbit anti-VWF (Dako, Agilent
Technologies, Leuven, BE), mouse anti-CD63 and rat anti-GATA1 N6 (Santa Cruz
Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), rabbit anti-GATA1 (NF that was produced against
recombinant N-terminal zinc finger56 (link)), rabbit anti-GAPDH (14C10, Cell Signaling) and
anti-β3 integrin (sc-14009; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The statistical
analysis of the GATA1 data is described in the
