Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Nuclear lysates prepared under three different conditions from E10.5 embryos harboring the Fam60a::Venus transgene were subjected to immunoprecipitation with bead-coupled antibodies to GFP that either had (control) or had not been previously exposed to recombinant GFP. Proteins that bound to the beads were then fractionated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and revealed by silver staining. Proteins that bound nonspecifically to the beads are indicated by asterisks, and the identity of those that bound specifically was determined by mass spectrometry. The bead-bound proteins were also subjected to immunoblot (IB) analysis with antibodies to GFP for detection of Fam60a-Venus. ( B ) Nuclear extracts of E10.5 WT embryos, undifferentiated P19 cells, or E10.5 embryos harboring the Fam60a::Venus transgene were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with bead-coupled anti-Fam60a, anti-GFP, or control rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG), as indicated, and the resulting precipitates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with antibodies to Sin3a, to Hdac1, and to Hdac2 (upper panel). The nuclear extracts (Input) as well as the material that bound nonspecifically to beads before exposure to the antibodies used for immunoprecipitation (Preclear) were also subjected to immunoblot analysis. Alternatively, nuclear extracts of E10.5 WT embryos were subjected to immunoprecipitation with antibodies to Sin3a, to Hdac1, to Hdac2, or to the FLAG epitope (control), and the resulting precipitates were subjected to immunoblot analysis with antibodies to Fam60a (lower panel).
