Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE 10–15% acrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, blocked with 5% milk in TBST and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. Detection was carried out using the ECL SuperSignal detection system (Thermo Scientific). Gad8 Thr387 phosphorylation events were detected using total protein extracts by phosphospecific antibodies. Antibodies against Gad8 Thr387-P were raised against the Gad8 phosphopeptide CRFANWpSYQRPT [59 (link)]. To follow Chk1 phosphorylation, proteins were extracted with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) as described previously and resolved by SDS-PAGE using 8% acrylamide gels.
