Nonradioactive quantification of autophagic protein degradation with L-azidohomoalanine labeling

Abstract

At present, several assays that use radioisotope labeling to quantify the degradation of long-lived proteins have been developed to measure autophagic flux. Here, we describe a nonradioactive pulse-chase protocol using L-azidohomoalanine (AHA) labeling to quantify long-lived protein degradation during autophagy. AHA is used as a surrogate for L-methionine, and, when added to cultured cells grown in methionine-free medium, AHA is incorporated into proteins during de novo protein synthesis. After a chase period to remove short-lived proteins, autophagy is induced by starvation or other stimuli. Cells then undergo a 'click' reaction between the azide group of AHA and a fluorescently tagged alkyne probe. The AHA-containing proteins can then be detected by flow cytometry. This protocol is nonradioactive, sensitive and quantitative, and it is easy to perform. It is also applicable to various cell culture systems. The whole protocol is estimated to take 4-5 d to complete.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
