ERα binds to the C-terminus of STAT3. a, Schematic diagram of STAT3 and the mutant forms used to map the ERα-36-binding domain. b, Coimmunoprecipitation assays. MDA-MB-231 cells were transiently transfected with expression vectors encoding Flag-tagged STAT3 deletion mutant proteins and Myc-tagged ERα-36. Flag-tagged STAT3 deletion mutant proteins were immunoprecipitated (IP) from cell lysates with a monoclonal anti-Flag antibody, and coimmunoprecipitating ERα-36 was detected by immunoblotting (IB) with a monoclonal anti-Myc antibody (top parts). The membrane was re-probed with anti-Flag antibody to reveal the total amount of Flag-tagged STAT3 proteins (bottom parts). c, Schematic diagram of ERα-36 and the mutant forms used to map the STAT3-binding domain. d, Co-immunoprecipitation assays. MDA-MB-231 cells were transiently transfected with expression vectors encoding Myc-tagged ERα-36 deletion mutant proteins and Flag-tagged STAT3. Myc-tagged ERα-36 deletion mutant proteins were immunoprecipitated (IP) from cell lysates with a monoclonal anti-Flag antibody, and coimmunoprecipitating STAT3 was detected by immunoblotting (IB) with a monoclonal anti-Flag antibody (top).
