Fig. 1. PINK1 binds to hTERT.

Fig. 1

a HEK293 cells were transfected with a plasmid encoding Myc-PINK1 and/or hTERT-HA for 48 h. Total cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Myc antibody and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. Hsp90 served as a loading control. b Representative confocal images of endogenous PINK1 (green) and hTERT (red) immunostaining are shown. Scale bar = 5 μm. c Pearson′s correlation coefficient of the colocalization between PINK1 and hTERT in Fig. 1b was analyzed by Image J software. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (***p ≤ 0.001). d SH-SY5Y cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-PINK1 IgG and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. The cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with pre-immune IgG as a negative control. e HEK293 cells were transfected for 48 h with a plasmid encoding Myc-PINK1 and/or hTERT-HA, and the resulting cell lysates were separated into cytosolic and membrane organelle fractions. The samples were then immunoprecipitated with anti-Myc antibody and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. Tubulin and VDAC served as markers for the cytosolic and the mitochondrial fractions, respectively.
