Cells were homogenized, and extracts were prepared using lysis buffer (NER buffer from the NER-PER nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1× protease inhibitor cocktail, 1 μM microcystin-LR). The soluble fraction was recovered by centrifugation at 16,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. Protein concentration was measured with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce Biotechnology), and 30 μg of protein from each sample was resolved by SDS-PAGE. The resolved bands were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane and subjected to western blotting with the appropriate antibodies.
The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-CK1δ (C-8) (1/1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-55553), goat anti-CK1δ (N-19) (1/500, sc-6475, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit-anti C-terminal Brd4 (1/2000)19 (link), rabbit anti-Brd4 (1/1000, A301-985A50, Bethyl Laboratories Inc.), rabbit anti-phospho-Brd4 492/494 (1/2000, ABE1453, Millipore), mouse anti-Gapdh (1/5000, NB300-221, Novus Biolechne), goat anti-CK2α (1/500, sc-6479, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), mouse anti-Flag (1/5000, A8592, Sigma), and rabbit anti-cyclin D1 (1/1000, ab134175, Abcam). The following secondary antibodies were used: anti-goat IgG–HRP (1/1000, 7074, Cell Signaling), anti-mouse IgG–HRP (1/1000, NXA931, GE Healthcare) and anti-rabbit IgG–HRP (1/1000, NA9340V, GE Healthcare).
