STEP Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 5 or striatum-enriched protein-tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) protein is part of a family of protein tyrosine phosphatases enriched within the CNS, and is a key component of the NMDAR complex. It is expressed within dopaminoceptive neurons in the CNS and particularly enriched within the basal ganglia and related structures. STEP61 is the membrane-associated isoform and STEP46 is the cytosolic protein. In response to transient hypoxia-ischemia in the brain, STEP61 is proteolytically cleaved by calpain, thereby releasing a smaller isoform, STEP33.
