In vivo chemical cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was carried out as described [25 (link), 47 (link)] with some modifications. Cells transfected with expression plasmids for 17 h were washed three times in PBS with Ca2+/Mg2+ and then incubated with 1 mM DSS or DMSO (as control) in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. The reaction was stopped with a final concentration of 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5) for 15 min at room temperature. The samples were dissolved in NuPAGETM LDS sample buffer (4X) (Invitrogen) and analyzed by Western blotting.
