Timecourse of CCCP-induced activation of PINK1. (a) Timecourse of PINK1 autophosphorylation in vivo. Flp-In T-Rex HEK293 cells stably expressing PINK1-FLAG wild-type and kinase-inactive (D384A) were stimulated at the indicated time points with 10 μM of CCCP. 0.5 mg of mitochondrial extracts were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG agarose and resolved by 8% SDS-PAGE. Immunoblotting was performed with anti-phospho-Thr275 antibody or total PINK1 antibody. (b) No time-dependent activation of cytoplasmic PINK1 in vivo. As in (a) cytoplasmic extracts were obtained at the indicated time-points and immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG agarose and resolved by 8% SDS-PAGE. Immunoblotting was performed with PINK1 anti-phospho-Thr275 antibody or total PINK1 antibody. (c) Timecourse of Parkin Ser65 phosphorylation in vivo. Flp-In T-Rex HEK293 cells stably expressing wild-type PINK1-FLAG were co-transfected with untagged wild-type (WT) or Ser65Ala (S65A) mutant Parkin; induced with doxycycline and stimulated with 10 μM of CCCP at the indicated time points. 0.25 mg of 1% Triton whole-cell lysate were subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-Parkin antibody (S966C) covalently coupled to protein G Sepharose and then immunoblotted with anti-phospho-Ser65 antibody in the presence of dephosphorylated peptide. One per cent of the IP was immunoblotted with total anti-Parkin antibody. 1.5 mg of whole-cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG agarose and resolved by 8% SDS-PAGE. Immunoblotting was performed with total PINK1 antibody.
