Western blotting was performed as described previously (Oppermann et al. 2019 (link)). Briefly, 30 µg of protein was separated on a 4–20% SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) gradient gel (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) and was transferred to a PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) membranes (Low Fluorescence Membrane Opti Blot, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The primary antibodies used were: mouse anti-DOCK4 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heiderlberg, Germany #sc-100718 1:500), rabbit anti-GAPDH antibody (Cell Signaling; #2118 1:5000) and mouse anti-ACTB (Novus Biologicals #NB600-501, 1:5000). The secondary antibodies employed (red fluorescent IRDye 680RD goat anti-mouse and green fluorescent IRDye 800CW goat anti-rabbit; both diluted 1:10,000 in TBST) were purchased from LI-COR (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, USA). Membranes were scanned using an Odyssey Imaging System (LI-COR, Bad Homburg, Germany), and band intensities were determined by the Image Studio 5 software (LI-COR).
