“…Following electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Biorad). Membranes were blocked for 1 h with 5% nonfat milk in Tris-buffered saline (100 mmol/l NaCl, 5 mmol/l KCl, 100 mmol/l TrisHCl, pH 7.4, and 0.05% Tween 20, Biorad) and incubated overnight TG2 activity and actin rearrangement were detected as previously described (34). Briefly, for the detection of TG2 intracellular enzymatic activity, a drop of cellular suspension of K562(S) cells treated for 30 min was put on coated slides, preincubated with TG assay buffer (965 L of 100 mmol/l Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 25 ml of 200 mmol/l CaCl 2 , both from Sigma) for 15 min, and then preincubated with the same triglyceride assay buffer added with 10 µl of 10 mmol/l biotinylated monodansylcadaverine (Molecular Probes, Leiden, The Netherlands) for 1 h at room temperature.…”
