Abstract
Using fluorescence size exclusion chromatography (FSEC) to analyze ATP13A2 expression in microsomes
Materials
Lysis Buffer
50 mM Tris pH 7.5
200 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
1 mM DTT
10% glycerol
Plus protease inhibitors (5 µg/mL aprotinin, 5 µg/mL leupeptin, 1 µg/mL pepstatin A, and 2 mM PMSF)
Running Buffer
25 mM Tris pH 7.5
100 mM NaCl
1 mM EDTA
0.03% DDM/ 0.006% CHS
Thaw 100 μg microsomes on ice
Resuspend microsomes in Lysis Buffer and final volume 1% DDM/0.2% CHS (1X pellet, 3X Lysis Buffer, 1X 5% DDM/1% CHS) at 4 °C
DDM: n-dodecyl-β-D-maltopyranoside (Anatrace)
CHS: cholesteryl hemisuccinate (Anatrace)
Solubilize by rotating end-over-end for 2 h at 4C
Clarify lysate by spinning at 17000 x g, 4°C, 01:00:00
1h
Equilibrate Superose 6 column, connected to an HPLC system, with Running Buffer
Inject 85 uL of lysate into HPLC
Monitor elution of GFP-tagged ATP13A2 constructs using a fluorometer (λex= 475 nm; λem= 510 nm; with a fixed gain) connected to the system
