Stably transfected Flp-In™ T-REx™ 293 cell lines (Thermo Fisher Scientific R78007) for the tetracycline-inducible expression of TRIP4 variants with N-terminal 2xFlag-His6 or C-terminal His6-2xFlag tags were generated according to the manufacturer’s guidelines10 (link). Transfection of the parental cell line was done using X-tremeGENE HP DNA Transfection Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich). After hygromycin-based selection of cells that had genomically integrated the expression cassette, tetracycline-induced expression of the tagged proteins was confirmed by western blotting using a monoclonal α-Flag-M2 antibody (Sigma-Aldrich F3165; 1:7500). For expression of HA-tagged TRIP4 variants, the pHAGE-HA-trip4 vectors encoding HA-tagged TRIP4wt, TRIP4ΔZnF, TRIP4L174A-L180A-I190A or TRIP4C171A-C184A, were transfected into 293T cells (ATCC CRL-3216) using Transit293 transfection reagent (Mirus Bio).
