Plasmids expressing cMyc-tagged mouse SEPN1 (with A1284T/C conversion of the TGA selenocysteine codon into Cys to increase expression) and cMyc-tagged human Desmin were constructed in a CMV promoter-derived mammalian expression vector.
Expression plasmids encoding N-terminally FLAG-tagged human SEPN1 and the mutants SEPN1 SS (C427S, U428S) and SEPN1 CC (U428C) were constructed in pSel-Express vector (a kind gift from Vladimir Gladyshev) [16 ].
The primary antibodies used were: anti-VDAC2, anti-Cyt C, anti-Calnexin, anti-SERCA2, anti-RyR, anti-cMyc, and anti-PDI from Abcam; anti-Flag, anti-β-tubulin, and anti-Sigma 1-R from Sigma-Aldrich; anti-IP3R3 and Cyt c from BD Biosciences; anti-Tom40 from Santa Cruz, and homemade rabbit anti-SEPN1 [21 (link)]. Secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488 and 594 were from Life Technologies.
