The BioID expression vector ligated with α-syn WT or A53T was transfected into SH-SY5Y cells. Biotinylation was induced by treatment with 50 μM biotin. Cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and harvested in the lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 500 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.4% (w/v) SDS, and a protease inhibitor cocktail (GenDEPOT, Barker, TX, USA)) 24 h after biotinylation. After sonication, the lysates were then centrifuged at 22,250× g for 20 min. Biotinylated proteins in the supernatants were captured on streptavidin beads by rotation overnight at 4 °C. The following day, the beads were pelleted and washed thrice with wash buffer A (50 mM HEPES, 500 mM NaCl, 1% (v/v) Triton X-100, 1 mM EDTA, and a protease inhibitor cocktail (GenDEPOT, Barker, TX, USA)) and twice with wash buffer B (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, and a protease inhibitor cocktail (GenDEPOT, Barker, TX, USA)). Beads were then mixed with 2× SDS sample buffer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and boiled at 95 °C for 15 min. The reaction was verified via streptavidin immunoblot analysis; coomassie-stained gel was used, in combination with mass spectrometry, to identify the proteins.

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.
