Whole cell extracts were prepared using the trichloroacetic acid (TCA) method as previously described (39 (link)). Immunoprecipitation was carried out following our published method (39 (link)). Proteins from whole-cell extracts or immunoprecipitated samples were resolved on a SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore) using a semi-dry transfer cell (Bio-Rad). Mouse monoclonal anti-HA antibody was purchased from Abcam, anti-Myc and anti-FLAG antibodies were purchased from Sigma, and the phosphor-specific rabbit polycolonal antibody against Fun30 phosphorylation on serine 28 was ordered from GenScript (Nanjing). Anti-mouse and rabbit IgG HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Blots were developed using the ECL Prime Western Blotting substrate (GE Healthcare).
