UCH-L1/PGP9.5 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.

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UCHL1) is a soluble cytoplasmic protein found in neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system, and their respective tumors. Therefore, UCH-L1 has been widely used as a peripheral nerve fiber marker. UCHL-1 functions as a tissue-specific ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase isoenzyme involved in the processing of both ubiquitin precursors and ubiquitinated proteins.

UCH L1 is down-regulated in brains from Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease patients, and certian site specific mutations in the UCHL1 gene can either increase or decrese the risk of Parkinson's and/or Alzheimer's neurodegenerative diseases.

Human UCHL 1 and the closely related UCHL3 protein have one of the most complicated knot structures ever discovered, with five knot crossings. This knot structure is expected to help the protein resist degradation in the proteasome.
