a Sequence alignment of ERG domain containing the EZH2 recognized R-K-S motif from diverse species. b Detection of methylated ERG in VCaP cells by immunoblotting with anti-mERG antibody and competition with methylated (M) and non-methylated (C) peptides (n = 2). c Detection of mERG in VCaP cells by immunofluorescence microscopy with anti-mERG antibody pre-incubated with the specific competitor and control peptides (n = 2). Scale bar = 20 µm. d Detection of ERG, EZH2, and mERG in VCaP cells by immunofluorescence microscopy (n = 2). Scale bar = 20 µm. e Detection of ERG and mERG by IB in control and HA-tagged K362A ERG transfected VCaP cells (n = 2). f In vitro methylation assay with recombinant ERG and EZH2 followed by immunoblots with indicated antibodies (left) and in the presence of the EZH2 inhibitor GSK343 (right) (n = 2). g Detection of mERG, ERG, and EZH2 by IB in VCaP cells upon EZH2 knockdown by two siRNA (siEZH2 and siEZH2 3′UTR) (n = 2). h Detection of mERG, ERG, and EZH2 by IB in VCaP cells upon treatment with 10 µM DZNep (H) at indicated time points (n = 2). i Immunoblots of mERG, ERG, and EZH2 in RWPE1 cells transiently transfected with the indicated ERG and EZH2 expression vectors (n = 2). j Binding of recombinant ERG and EZH2 determined by microscale thermophoresis (MST). Insert, MST tracing. k Co-IP of ERG and EZH2 in PC3 cells transiently transfected with Ha-tagged ERG expression vector (n = 2). l Co-IP of ERG and EZH2 in VCaP cells with ERG and EZH2 specific antibodies and control IgG (n = 2). m Diagram of truncated ERG constructs. n Co-IP and His-pulldown in PC3 cells transiently transfected with the His-ΔN-ERG constructs and immunoblotting with anti-His and anti-EZH2 antibodies (n = 2). o Diagram of truncated EZH2 constructs. p Binding of Myc-EZH2-∆SET to Ha-ERG assessed by co-immunoprecipitation in PC3 cells transiently transfected with the truncated EZH2 constructs along with ERG plasmid (n = 2).
