Cell protein lysates were prepared, and Western blotting was performed according to our published protocols [34 (link), 105 (link), 107 (link)]. The following primary antibodies were used in this experiment: E2F1 (3742, Cell Signaling), E2F2 (sc-633, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), E2F3 (sc-878, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), cyclin B1 (sc-245, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Mad2 (ab70383, Abcam), Bcl2 (2870, Cell Signaling), pBcl2 (Ser70) (2827, Cell Signaling), pSer/Thr/Phe (9631, Cell Signaling), cleaved caspase 3 (9661, Cell Signaling), cleaved PARP (5625, Cell Signaling), Hec1 (GTX70268, GeneTex, Irvine, CA), pBad (Ser136) (4366, Cell Signaling), Bad (9268, Cell Signaling), Mps1/TTK (3255, Cell Signaling), PP2Ac (2259, Cell Signaling), and Sgo1 (ab58023, Abcam). β-actin antibody (4970, Cell Signaling) was used as a loading control. For secondary antibodies, either goat anti-rabbit HRP (sc-2004) or goat anti-mouse HRP (sc-2005, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were used. Signals were detected by using a Lumigen TMA-6 reagent (Lumigen Inc, Southfield, MI). Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) was used to quantify protein levels.
