Supporting Information Arango et al. 10.1073/pnas.1303726110 SI Materials and Methods Preparation of Apigenin-Immobilized Polyethyleneglycol-Polyacrylamide Beads. Apigenin was immobilized to amino polyethyleneglycol- polyacrylamide copolymer beads (PEGA beads; EMD Bio- sciences). Briey, 0.40 mmol/mg PEGA beads were washed three times with pyridine and subsequently mixed with 3.3 mol equivalents (to the amino group loaded on the beads) of 4-nitrophenyl bromoacetate. Beads were stirred at room temper- ature for 3 h, ltered, washed three times with 10 mL each di- chloromethane (CH 2 Cl 2 ), MeOH, and N,N-dimethylformamide, and subsequently mixed with 2.2 mol equivalents apigenin and 1.8 mol equivalents K 2 CO 3 to the bromoacetyl group loaded on the beads. The resulting suspension was stirred at room tem- perature for 3 d, ltered, and washed three times with 10 mL each CH 2 Cl 2 , MeOH, and H 2 O. The apigenin-immobilized PEGA beads were vacuum-dried. Filtrates were neutralized by the ad- dition of 1 M aqueous HCl. After layer separation, the aqueous layer was extracted seven times with 50 mL EtOAc. The com- bined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ), and concentrated in vacuo. The un- loaded apigenin was recovered from the supernatant by silica gel chromatography (chloroform/MeOH = 20:1). The amount of apigenin immobilized on 1 mg dried PEGA beads was es- timated to be 0.14 μmol as determined by subtracting the amount of unloaded apigenin from the amount of apigenin used in the reaction. Plasmid Construction. pEGFPheterogeneous nuclear ribonu- cleoprotein A2 (hnRNPA2) and plasmid T7-driven expression 9c (pET9c)-hnRNPA2 were provided by Lexie Friend (University of Queensland, St. Lucia, Australia) (1) and Adrian R. Krainer (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY) (2), respectively. pEGFP-BAG1 (B-cell lymphoma 2-associated athanogene 1) L and pEGFPRho-guanine nucleotide ex- change factor 1 were obtained from Ann C. Williams (Bristol University, Bristol, United Kingdom) (3) and Philip B. Wede- gaertner (Kimmel Cancer Institute, Philadelphia) (4), respectively. The different hnRNPA2 cDNA fragments were amplied using the pET9c-hnRNPA2 clone as a template and cloned into a plas- mid entry-driven topoisomearse (pENTR-D-TOPO) vector (Life Technologies). The following primers were used to generate the PCR products comprising different fragments of hnRNPA2 (Ta- ble S1): to generate hnRNPA2 full length, PrimersAndreaOhio (PAO)-351 and PAO-338; for hnRNPA2 ΔC -terminal region (hnRNPA2 δC , amino acids 1-263), PAO-351 and PAO-337; for hnRNPA2δglycine-rich domain (hnRNPA2 δGRD , amino acids 1189), PAO-351 and PAO-372; for hnRNPA2glycine-rich domain (hnRNPA2 GRD , amino acids 190341), PAO-374 and PAO-338; and for hnRNPA2C-terminal region (hnRNPA2 C , amino acids 264341), PAO-352 and PAO-338. To generate the GST-tagged and 6xHis-tagged fragments, the pENTR-D-TOPO containing hnRNPA2 fragments was cloned into pDEST15 and pDEST17 vectors, respectively, by recombination using the Gateway LR Clonase Enzyme Mix and the conditions suggested by the manu- facturer (Life Technologies). To generate the uorescent in- dicator protein (FLIP) constructs, hnRNP-A2 C cDNA was amplied by PCR from the pET9c-hnRNPA2 vector using the PAO-379 and PAO-378 primers pair (Table S1). Fragments were cloned into the pENTR-D-TOPO vector and transferred to the 6xHis-tagged pFLIP vectors by recombination using the Gateway LR Clonase Enzyme Mix. pFLIP vectors, previously used to generate biosensors, were generously provided by Wolf Frommer (Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford, CA) (5). The hnRNPA2 C fragment was cloned into pFLIP1 or pFLIP2 vectors containing the N-terminal CFP and C-terminal YFP tags or pFLIP4 vector containing the N-terminal GFP and C-terminal monomeric Kusabira-Orange. pFLIP2 and pFLIP4 vectors hold the Gateway recombination linkers anked by the KpnI and SpeI restriction sites (Fig. S5). Different versions of FLIP2-hnRNPA2 C (referred as pFLIP2-1, -2-2 and -2-3-hnRNPA2 C ) and FLIP4- hnRNPA2 C (referred as pFLIP4-1 and -4-2-hnRNPA2 C ) were generated by digestion and self-ligation using KpnI and/or SpeI sites to improve FRET emission (Fig. S5). Cell Culture. MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% (vol/vol) FBS and 1% penicillin/ streptomycin.

Briefly, 0.40 mmol/mg PEGA beads were washedthree times with pyridine and subsequently mixed with 3.3 molequivalents (to the amino group loaded on the beads) of4-nitrophenyl bromoacetate. Beads were stirred at room temper-ature for 3 h, filtered, washed three times with ∼10 mL each di-chloromethane (CH2Cl2), MeOH, and N,N′-dimethylformamide,and subsequently mixed with 2.2 mol equivalents apigenin and1.8 mol equivalents K2CO3 to the bromoacetyl group loaded onthe beads. The resulting suspension was stirred at room tem-perature for 3 d, filtered, and washed three times with ∼10 mLeach CH2Cl2, MeOH, and H2O. The apigenin-immobilized PEGAbeads were vacuum-dried. Filtrates were neutralized by the ad-dition of 1 M aqueous HCl. After layer separation, the aqueouslayer was extracted seven times with 50 mL EtOAc. The com-bined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydroussodium sulfate (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The un-loaded apigenin was recovered from the supernatant by silicagel chromatography (chloroform/MeOH = 20:1). The amountof apigenin immobilized on 1 mg dried PEGA beads was es-timated to be ∼0.14 μmol as determined by subtracting theamount of unloaded apigenin from the amount of apigenin usedin the reaction.

Relativebinding percentage to A-beads was determined by counting pfu per milliliter ϕ-hnRNPA2C relative to DMSO control. Data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 3).*P < 0.05. (B and C) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 50 μM apigenin, naringenin, or DMSO for 3 h. (B) Isocitrate dehydrogenases 3 (IDH3) and (C) UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) activities were measured in mitochondria and whole-cells lysates, respectively, as described in Materials and Methods. Io-doacetic acid (1 M), an enzymatic inhibitor, was added as control. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 4). *P < 0.05 determined by two-way ANOVA. (D and E)Lysates from HeLa cell expressing full-length (D) Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1-GFP or (E) GFP-BCL2-associated athanogene 1 (GFP-BAG1) wereused in pull-down assays with A- or C-beads (indicated as A or C, respectively), resolved by SDS/PAGE, and analyzed by Western blot using anti-GFP antibodies.

Fig. S5. Development of a flavonoid nanosensor. Bacteria lysates expressing different versions of FLIP-hnRNPA2C proteins were incubated with increasingconcentrations of apigenin (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, and 25 μM) for 3 h at 37 °C. Relative fluorescence units (RFUs) were determined by spectrofluorometry (λext =405 nm; λemi = 460–600 nm) and represented as emission spectra. The calculated YFP/CFP fluorescent ratios (530/480 nm) are also represented over the 0- to25-μM concentration range of apigenin.

Fig. S6. Effect of flavonoids on CFP and YFP fluorescence. (A) Schematic representation of the flavonoid nanosensor. (B) Apigenin absorption spectra partiallyoverlap with the CFP excitation spectrum. Absorption spectra of 100 μM apigenin and naringenin were measured using a spectrofluorometer plate reader overthe 285- to 475-nm range. The CFP and YFP excitation wavelengths were obtained from the literature (1). (C) The YFP excitation/emission spectrum of FLIP-hnRNPA2C was not affected by apigenin. FLIP-hnRNPA2C was incubated with increasing concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM) of apigenin or nar-ingenin. RFUs were determined by spectrofluorometry and represented as emission spectra. (D) Apigenin quenches CFP fluorescence. Purified (D) CFP or (E) YFPwas incubated with increasing concentrations (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM) of apigenin or naringenin. RFUs were determined by spectrofluorometry andrepresented as emission spectra. CFP λext = 405 nm; CFP λemi = 460–600 nm; YFP λext = 475 nm; YFP λemi: 510–600 nm.

The affinity-purified FLIP2-3-hnRNPA2C protein was incubatedwith increasing concentrations of the indicated flavonoids (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM) for 3 h at 37 °C. RFUs were determined by spectrofluorometry (λext =405 nm; λemi = 460–600 nm) and represented as emission spectra. The calculated YFP/CFP fluorescent ratios (530/480 nm) are also represented over the 0- to100-μM concentration range for each flavonoid. The chemical structures of the corresponding flavonoids are shown. Data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 3).(A) Flavones: luteolin and chrysoeriol. (B) Apigenin glucosides: apigenin 7-O glucoside and apigenin 6-C glucoside. (C) Flavopiridol. (D) Flavanones: naringeninand eriodictyol. (E) Flavonols: quercetin and kaempferol. (F) Genistein. Statistical significance of the variation of the observed YFP/CFP ratios over the testedflavonoid concentration range was conducted by one-way ANOVA. Black curves represent P < 0.05, and broken gray curves represent P ≥ 0.05.
