GST pull-down assays with in vitro translated
35 (link)S-labeled proteins
were done as described previously 14 (link). Briefly, GST-fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia
coli BL21(DE3) and/or SoluBL21 (Amsbio). After pull-down assays, the proteins
were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes and the
radiolabeled proteins were detected in a PharosFX and PharosFX Plus Imager
(BioRad).
