Co-immunoprecipitation studies were performed using transiently transfected HeLa cells expressing HA-tagged EspZ. At 72-hours post-transfection, cells were harvested via centrifugation, and proteins were extracted using IP Lysis/Wash Buffer Supplemented with 1% CHAPs (Thermo Fisher Scientific).30 (link),37 (link) Immunoprecipitation was performed on 2 mg protein extracts using α-FIS1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), α-HA antibody (Millipore Sigma) and Pierce Crosslink IP Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following manufacturer’s protocol. Immunoprecipitated samples were resolved via a 4–20% SDS-PAGE. The presence of HA-tagged EspZ and FIS1 was confirmed by western blot using α-HA and α-FIS1 antisera (Millipore Sigma).
