Phosphorylated FLAG-TFEB was obtained by immunoprecipitation from fed HeLa cells. Protein-G beads containing FLAG-TFEB were incubated for 40 min at 30°C in 24 µl of corresponding phosphatase reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM DTT, protease inhibitors with 1 mM CaCl2 or 10 mM EGTA) containing purified Calcineurin (100U; ENZO Life Sciences) and Calmodulin (4 mM; ENZO Life Sciences). Samples were eluted by adding 8 µl of 4X Laemmli buffer, resolved by SDS–PAGE and analysed by immunoblotting. Antibodies anti-p-Ser 14-3-3 binding motif10 (link), anti-P-Ser142-TFEB9 (link) and TFEB (Cell Signaling Technologies) were used to detect phosphorylated and total TFEB forms, respectively.
