The cell lysates were centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C to remove insoluble material. The supernatants were precleared, then immunoprecipitated with anti-p53 or anti-LRRK2 (MJFF2, Abcam) at 4 °C for 8 h, and further incubated with protein-A agarose (Pierce, Rockford, IL,USA) for 24 h. The antibody-protein complexes were subjected to Western blot analysis using the indicated antibodies.
Cell nuclei were fractionated using a Nuclear/Cytosol Fractionation kit (K266-100, Bioscience, Milpitas, CA, USA) as suggested by the manufacturer, after the indicated treatment.
G2019S TG mice (#009609, Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) and normal control littermates were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Brain tissues were disrupted using a Dounce Homogenizer (10 strokes) and lysed by passing the extracts through a 22-gauge needle five times. The brain lysates were centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C to remove insoluble material, and supernatants were used for further Western blot analysis.
The immunoprecipitated antibody-protein complexes, cell or brain lysates, or fractionated samples were subjected to Western blot analysis using the indicated antibodies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eukaryotic expression constructs for α-synuclein, 3flag-LRRK2 or eGFP-LRRK2 overexpression are described elsewhere [34 (link),60–63 (link)]. Untagged LRRK2 was generated by BamHI restriction-mediated excision of the 3flag-tag. LRRK2 knockdown constructs were cloned according to [64 (link)] and used with a blasticidin resistance marker (as in [34 (link)]). All transgenes were cloned in the pCHMWS backbone as described in [65 (link)]. A CMV promoter was used for all cell culture applications, while a CaMKII0.4 promoter was applied for in vivo overexpression purposes. All constructs were sequence confirmed. Lentiviral (LV) vectors were produced as described in Ibrahimi et al. [66 (link)]. Anti-α- or β-tubulin, vinculin and anti-FlagM2 antibodies are purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, anti-α-synuclein antibody from Enzo Life Sciences, LRRK2 P-S935 from Novus Biologicals and MJFF-2 from Abcam. Anti-eGFP antibody is generated in-house [67 (link)]. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-based viability kits are purchased from Roche. LRRK2 kinase inhibitor-1 (L2-IN1) [32 (link)] was purchased from Calbiochem and PF-06447475 [68 (link)] from Sigma-Aldrich.

Immunofluorescent Localization of LRRK2 and α-Synuclein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells cultured on coverslips were fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde for 20 min, followed by immersion in 100% EtOH at -20°C. 100% EtOH treatment was necessary for the staining with an anti-LRRK2 antibody clone c41-2 [MJFF2] (Abcam). Samples were washed with PBS and then permeabilized and blocked with 3% (w/v) BSA in PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100. Primary antibodies and corresponding secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor dyes (Thermo Fisher) were diluted in the blocking buffer, and samples were incubated with antibody solutions. Antibodies used are listed in key resources table. Nuclei were stained with DRAQ5 (BioStatus) at 1:3000 dilution. The samples were imaged using a confocal microscope (SP5, Leica). Image contrast and brightness were adjusted using Photoshop 2020 software (Adobe). Colocalization of α-synuclein and LAMP1 signals were analyzed by measuring the integrated density of overlapping signals divided by the value of each signal using ImageJ (NIH), and colocalization of Alexa488-α-synuclein PFFs and LysoTracker fluorescence was measured by calculating Pearson’s correlation coefficient using ImageJ JACoP plugin, with Costes’ automatic threshold method.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein lysates were electrophoresed on a 7.5% Mini-Protean TGX stain- free gel (BioRad) and then transferred onto Immobilon-FL membranes (Millipore) and blocked with Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LiCOR). Membranes were cut in half below the high-molecular weight markers. Primary antibodies included mouse anti-LRRK2 clone N241A/34 (1: 2000, Antibodies, Inc.), rabbit anti-LRRK2 antibody MJFF2 (1:2000, Abcam), Ser(P)-935 (1: 2000, Abcam), Ser(P)-1292 (1:2000, Abcam) HSPA8 (1:5000, Cell Signaling), phospho-T73-Rab10 antibody (1:1000, MJF-R21, Abcam), and total Rab10 (1:1000, clone D36C4, Cell Signaling). Secondary antibodies were IRdye 680LT donkey anti-mouse and IRdye 800CW donkey anti-rabbit (both 1:10000, LiCOR). Membranes were scanned using a LiCOR CLx with 685-nm and 785-nm lasers and band intensities were quantified using the LiCOR-Odyssey system.

Lysates (0.5 ml) from WT and E193K fibroblasts were separated on a Superose 6 10/300 column (Ge Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA) pre-equilibrated with 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl and 0.06% (v/v) Triton X-100. The flow rate used was 0.5 ml/min. Fractions of 0.25 ml were collected, and 1 μl spotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane and analyzed by dot blot. The membrane was blocked with 10% milk in TBS plus 0.1% Tween-20 (TTBS) and incubated with rabbit monoclonal anti-LRRK2 (MJFF2, Abcam, 1:2000) and subsequently, HRP-conjugated rabbit secondary antibodies (1:15,000) in TTBS with 10% milk. Immunoproteins were visualized using ECL (GE, Healthcare, Waukesha, WI, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
