Autophagy content profiling in human cells

Version 1

Identification of autophagy substrates by directing APEX2 to autophagosomes and immune isolation of lysosomes.

APEX2-mediated biotinylation of cells was carried out as described before (Hung et al., 2016). In brief, cells were supplemented with 500 µM biotin-phenol (IrisBiotech) for 30 min at 37°C before addition of 1 mM H2O2 at room temperature. Cells were then first washed with quencher solution (1 mM sodium azide, 10 mM sodium ascorbate and 5 mM Trolox in DPBS), then with DPBS, scraped and harvested. All steps were carried out at 4°C unless stated otherwise. Cells were washed and suspended in homogenization ...
