Harvesting cells
Harvesting cells
Depending on cell type, collect the cells by scrapping them with a scrapper in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered saline modified without calcium chloride and magnesium chloride (DPBS) (SH-SY5Y) or, using 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (HMEC-1) for which stop enzymatic reaction by adding culture medium.
Centrifuge cell suspensions at 450 g (SH-SY5Y) or 2500 rpm (HMEC-1), 4°C for Duration00:05:00 .

5m
Resuspend cell pellets with DPBS and centrifuge following the same indications as in 2. Repeat once.
Discard supernatants and keep cell pellets on ice.
Cell lysis and protein concentration determination
Cell lysis and protein concentration determination
Resuspend cell pellets in RIPA buffer (RIPA Lysis and Extraction Buffer supplemented with protease cocktail inhibitors.
Vortex Duration00:00:30 and keep on ice for Duration00:30:00 .

30m 30s
Centrifuge at 20,000g, 4°C for Duration00:30:00 .

30m
Keep supernatants on ice to proceed with protein concentration determination using the micro-BCA Protein Assay Kit.

7h 10m
7h 10m
Loading
Mix 20 µg of protein with NuPAGE LDS sample buffer and 5% β-mercaptoethanol final.
For this specific protocol to detect ATP13A2 and ATP13A3, do not boil samples.
Load protein on pre-cast 4-12% Bis-Tris gels. Include at least one lane with a protein ladder.
Running
Run for Duration00:10:00 at 100V and Duration01:30:00 at 110-130V.

1h 40m
Transfer
Transfer onto PVDF membranes using a liquid transfer and following settings: 100V, Duration01:15:00 , 4°C.

1h 15m
Ponceau staining
Rinse membrane with distilled water.
Incubate membrane with Ponceau staining for Duration00:05:00 , 19 rpm.
5m
Scan membrane if necessary.
Blocking
Duration01:00:00 Block membranes with blocking buffer (5% milk powder in 1X TBS and 0.1% Tween20 (REF)) for Duration01:00:00 at room temperature, 19 rpm.

2h
Primary antibodies
Incubate membrane with primary antibodies in solution (1% bovine serum albumin in 1X TBS-Tween20 (TBS-T) buffer), DurationOvernight at 4°C, 19 rpm.

1h
Wash membrane three times for Duration00:05:00 in TBS-T, 19 rpm.

5m
Secondary antibodies
Incubate membrane with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies in solution (1% milk powder in 1X TBS-T) for Duration01:00:00 at room temperature and, 19 rpm.

1h
Wash membrane five times forDuration00:05:00 in TBS-T, 19 rpm.

5m
Detection
Use a chemiluminescence reagent to detect signal and acquire with a Biorad Camera (Vilber Lourmat) and its software (ImageLab).
