Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) was performed as previously described.48 (link) Briefly, HeLa cells were transfected with 3 μg of FKBP51 and treated overnight with hydrocortisone (50 nm) and benztropine (10 μM). Cells were harvested in M-PER buffer, and lysates were incubated overnight in rabbit anti-GR antibody (Cell Signaling) at 4 °C. Magnetic protein A beads (Life Technologies) were incubated with samples for 4 h at 4 °C, followed by five washes and a denaturing elution. The resulting precipitates were subjected to SDS-PAGE.
