Figure 4

(A) Representative immunoblot of fractionated brain tissue. A = unfractionated brain, B = nuclear fraction, C = synaptosomal fraction, and D = mitochondrial fraction. Fractionation was validated by the enrichment of proteins known to reside in each compartment: HDAC2(nuclear protein), SynGAP(synaptic protein), and COX IV (mitochondrial protein). The images represent five separately processed immunoblots. The uncropped immunoblot images are in Fig. S9. (B) Quantitation of the CCT5 and 8 IR in the synaptosomal (B) and nuclear (C) fraction normalized to the CCT IR in unfractionated brain; N = 4. (D) The number of AHA peptides identified from a 7 day chase period was decreased in 2-month old brains compared with 1-year old brain. The average percentages of heavy AHA peptide identified (y-axis) from the total AHA identifications (i.e. light plus heavy) were calculated from MS analysis. N = 3. One-ANOVA analysis with Bonferroni’s post-hoc test was performed. Figure depicts the Bonferroni p-values for 1-year old brain. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001,****p < 0.0001. Bonferroni p-values not in the figure: 2mo-Brain vs. 2mo-Liver **, 2mo-Brain vs. 1 yr-Liver **, and 2mo-Liver vs. 1 yr-Liver not significant. (E) AHA proteins have a slower degradation rate in brains from 1-year old mice than 2-month old mice. (F) AHA proteins have similar degradation rate in livers from 1-year old mice than 2-month old mice. x-axis is the log2 fold change plotted as 1-year/2-month. Each point represents the average Day7/Day0 protein ratio, calculated from three mice in each age group. The y-axis is the log10 p-value with the red line representing the significant value filter 0.05.
