Extended Data Fig. 10

a, b, Wild type and mutant forms of EndoG (a) and SOD1 (b) were transfected in HeLa cells and analyzed for their mitochondrial import. Isolated mitochondria were resuspended in a hypotonic (osmotic swelling) buffer to generate mitoplasts. Proteinase K (10 μg/ml) was added to digest accessible proteins. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by immunoblotting using anti-GFP (EndoG or SOD1), anti-TOM20 (OM), anti-AIFM1 (IMS), anti-HCCS (IM), and anti-HSP60 (matrix) antibodies. Triton-X100 was added to solubilize matrix proteins and facilitate their proteinase K digestion, which revealed that mutant SOD1-G93A is partially protease-resistant as it is poorly digested even upon solubilization of all the different mitochondrial compartments. Results are representative of two replicates (a,b). Unprocessed blots are available in source data.
