Materials and Methods
siRNA and Plasmids
Human SHP-1 siRNA “AGCCUGGAGACUUCGUGCUUU”, control siRNA “ACCGUGGACGAUCGGUUCUUU” oligonucleotides, SMARTpool human EGFR-siRNA 4 and RISC-Free siRNA were obtained from Dharmacon RNA Technologies. For eukaryotic expression, a dominant negative -SHP-1 containing a deletion at amino acid position 451-475 and wt-SHP-1 cloned in pGEX-2T--SHP-1 and pGEX-2T-wt-SHP-1 respectively (given by B. Neel and D. Kaplan) were cut with Eco RI and the 2.1kb fragment ligated into Eco RI cut pCDNA3.1. To clone SHP-1-P1, genomic DNA from MCF7 cells was extracted using the GenElute mammalian genomic DNA kit (Sigma). The 469 bp region containing SHP-1-P1 was cloned by PCR amplification and mutants produced . The 469 bp region containing SHP-1-P1 was amplified by PCR using a forward p469 5’ ctcgagaggttgagaggctggagtgg 3’ primer and p +1 5’ agcttcaagccaggtgaggaagaaccg c 3’ reverse primer. Products were cut with Xho I and HinD III and ligated into Xho I and HinD III cut pGL2 (Promega) to obtain a luciferase expressing vector. To produce nested deletion mutants of SHP-1-P1, PCR was carried out with the following forward primers: p343 - 5’ggtaccaggtttcccccattggttgctcttcctca 3’, p315 - 5’ ggtaccagccagggttacttcctggtctgttcccc 3’, p282 - 5’ ggtacccaatacccc gccgctctgtcagcttgagc 3’, and p96 - 5’ ggtacctattagtccagggtttgtccc tgcagtgc 3’, and the reverse primer p +1. Products were cut with Kpn I and Hind III and ligated into Kpn I and Hind III cut pGL2 (Promega). Mutants at positions -410 and -240 were produced by re-ligating Kpn I or Sac I cut pGL2-SHP-1-P1-lu. To make the D-CCAAT mutant, a forward pD-CCAAT 5’ gtacctccttctctgaggaactgggctgttagg g 3’ primer and a reverse pD-CCAAT-R 5’ gaagtaaccctggctgaggaagagcaaatcctgggggaaacct 3’ primer containing mutated D-CCAAT sequences were used for PCR with SHP-1-P1 cloned in pBluescript as a template, the PCR product was cut with EcoNI and Kpn I and subsequently ligated into Kpn I and EcoNI cut pGL2-SHP-1-P1-lu. To produce the P-CCAAT mutant a forward primer pP-CCAAT 5’ gggtttcct ggagactattagtccagggtttgtccctgcaggtacaccagcc 3’ containing mutated P-CCAAT sequences and the p +1 reverse primer were used for PCR with SHP-1-P1 cloned in pBluescript as a template. The PCR fragment was cut with Pfo I and Hind III and then ligated to Pfo I and Hind III cut pGL2-SHP-1-P1-lu plasmid. All contructs were sequenced for verification.
Cell culture and transfections

MCF7 cells were cotransfected with pMEX-trkA (which codes for human wt-trkA), and pSV2neo or MCF7 cells expressing exogenous trkA, were cotransfected with pLTR-tsp53 (tsp53 val-135) and pHygro using Lipofectin (Invitrogen). 1x105 cells were plated in 10 cm plates and incubated overnight at 370C. Cells were washed with serum free medium and DNA lipofectin mix (10l/15l) was added to cells in 3ml of serum free medium and left to incubate for 5 hr at 370C, then were washed and incubated for 48hr in serum supplemented medium. Colonies were selected in 600 mg/ml G418 or 50 mg/ml Hygromycin B containing medium. Resistant colonies were obtained and screened for trkA and/or tsp53 expression by immunoprecipitation.

Protein concentration was determined using the BioRad protein assay. Lysates with similar protein concentration were boiled in sample buffer (10 % glycerol, 2 % SDS, 0.1mM dithiothreitol and 0.001 % bromophenol blue). Samples were run on 8.5 or 7.5 % SDS-PAGE gels. For immunoprecipitations after lysate incubation with anti-p53 PAb-DO-1, PAb248 or anti-trkB3 monoclonal antibodies for 2 h at 40C precipitates were collected with 20 l of protein G sepharose for 1 h at 40C and washed with cold lysis buffer, then pellets were boiled in sample buffer and samples run on 7.5 or 8.5 % SDS-PAGE gels. For immunoprecipitation of EGFR the protocol described in [Buday and Downward, 1993] was followed. Cells were starved for 24h with media containing 0.2% calf serum and for 3 h with media containing 1 mg/ml BSA. Then cells were subjected to 100mM Na3VO4 treatment for 30 min and stimulated or not stimulated with 100ng/ml of EGF for 10min, washed with cold PBS containing 1mM Na3VO4, and lysed in ice cold lysis buffer (30mM Hepes pH 7.5, 100mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1mM EGTA, 1mg/ml BSA, phosphatase inhibitors (1mM Na3VO4, 2mM para-nitrophenylphosphate, 10mM NaF and 25mM phenyl arsine oxide) and EDTA free protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics).

The resolved proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose. Blots were blocked for 1h in 137mM NaCl and 20mM Tris-HCl pH 8 (TBS) containing 2 % bovine serum albumin (BSA); and incubated with the desired antibodies diluted in TBS containing 0.2 % Tween 20 (TBS-T) at 4oC overnight. Blots were washed three times with TBS-T for 5min at room temperature, and incubated with horseraddish peroxidase conjugated rabbit anti-mouse, swine anti-rabbit or rabbit anti-sheep antibodies (DAKO) for 1h at room temperature, washed three times with TBS-T and proteins were visualised by chemoluminescence (ECL Pharmacia/Amersham). When necessary blots were stripped of antibody by incubating in 25 % SDS, 100mM -mercaptoethanol, 62.5mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8 for 1hr at 650C or 700C, rinsing three times with TBS for 15min and reprobing with the desired antibody.
