摘要: The p62 protein, also called sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1), is a ubiquitin-binding scaffold protein that colocalizes with ubiquitinated aggregates in many neurodegenerative diseases and proteinopathies of the liver. able to polymerize via an N-terminal PB1 domain can interact proteins C-terminal UBA domain. Also, p62/SQSTM1 binds directly LC3 GABARAP family specific sequence motif. itself degraded by autophagy may serve link autophagic machinery enable their degradation lysosome. Since accumulates when inhibited, decreased levels be observed induced, used as marker study flux. Here, we present several protocols for monitoring autophagy-mediated using Western blots, pulse-chase measurement half-life, immunofluorescence immuno-electron microscopy, well live cell imaging pH-sensitive mCherry-GFP double tag. We data on species-specificity map epitopes recognized commercially available anti-p62 antibodies.
