The cortactin (ab33333), PTP1B EP1837Y (ab52650) and PTP1B EP1841Y (ab75856) antibodies were obtained from Abcam (Cambridge, MA). The Tks5 (sc30122) antibody was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA) and labeled with Alexa Fluor 568 dye (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) for pY421-cortactin staining experiments as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The phospho-Y421 cortactin (C0739) antibody was from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). The PTP1B inhibitor (539741) was from Calbiochem (San Diego, CA). All secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor conjugated and obtained from Molecular Probes (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The Pan-Mena antibody was purchased from Novus Biologicals (Littleton, CO; Cat# NBP1–87914). The antibody specific for MenaINV used in this study has been described elsewhere59 . pEGFP-PTP1B C3 was a gift from Anna Huttenlocher (University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI). pCAX-eGFP and pCAX-eGFP-MenaINV vectors were produced by the Gertler lab (MIT, Cambridge, MA)45 (link).
