Assays

Total protein content of CSF samples was measured by Bradford assay (BioRad, Feldkirchen, Germany)and 10μg per sample were proteolysed by the commercially available in-StageTip-NHS kit (PreOmics GmbH, Martinsried, Germany) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, CSF was reduced and alkylated and incubated for 3 hrs at 37°C with Lys-C and trypsin. Resulting peptides were dried for short term storage at -80°C. Prior to measurement, peptides were resuspended in 2% acetonitrile and 0.5% ...

Proximity-proteomics-based autophagosome content profiling to identify a role for LC3C in maintaining basal mitochondrial homeostasis. Selected mitochondrial proteins, including MTX1, were targeted by LC3C and p62 through a piecemeal mitophagy pathway. SILAC cells biotinylated using APEX proximity labeling. Cell lysates treated with protease. RIPA soluble and insoluble fractions were subjected to Streptavidin pulldown followed by in gel digestion. 4 lanes were cut from one sample.

Samples were processed and analyszed as described in Behrends et al., Nature 2010.

Anti-HA-immunoprecipitation was performed as previously described (Behrends et al, 2010; Jung et al, 2015; Jung et al, 2017; Sowa et al, 2009). Summarily, expression of TAPL-HA and coreTAPL-HA was induced by addition of 4 µg/ml doxycycline for 24 h in HeLa Flp-In T-REx cells. Parental non-transfected HeLa Flp-In T-REx cells were used as negative control. For each sample, 6.4 x 107 cells were harvested, frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 °C. Cells were lysed in 3 ml MCLB buffer (50 mM ...

Cells (4x 15 cm dishes) were harvested and lysed with 3 ml lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% Nonidet P40 (NP40) and EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail tablets). Centrifugation-cleared lysates (13,000 rpm) were filtered through 0.45 µm spin filters (Millipore Ultrafree-CL) and immunoprecipitated with 60 µl anti-HA resin. Resin containing immune complexes were washed five times with lysis buffer followed by five PBS washes, and elution with 150 µl of 250 mg/ml HA peptide in ...

HeLa cells stably expressing UBE2QL1-APEX2 were grown in lysine- and arginine-free DMEM supplemented with FBS, L-Glutamine, Sodium pyruvate, heavy arginine (R10) (38 μg/ml) and lysine (K8) (66 μg/ml) or light arginine (R0) (38 μg/ml) and lysine (K0) (66 μg/ml), respectively. Further experiments were conducted as soon as the cells reached a protein labelling with heavy amino acids of at least 95%. Heavy-labeled cells were treated with 250 μM Leu-Leu methyl ester hydrobromide (LLOMe, Sigma) for 3 ...

Frozen cell pellets from 4x15 cm cell culture plates were lysed in Glycerol buffer (20 mM Tris [pH 7.4], 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5 % Triton-X-100, 10 % Glycerol, 1x protease inhibitor, 1x phosphatase inhibitor) for 30 min at 4° C with end-over-end rotation. Lysates were cleared from cell debris by centrifugation prior to adjustment of protein concentrations between the samples and overnight immunoprecipitation at 4° C with pre-equilibrated anti-HA-agarose (Sigma). Agarose beads were washed five ...
