Workflow for proteomic analysis of purified lysosomes in cells lacking GRN V.3
By quincy.tichenor onLyso-IP is a purification method of lysosomes, which can then be used for proteomic analysis or for metabolomic analysis. The Lyso-IP is adapted from a previous reported method. Here we also describe processing steps using proteomics after lysosome purification in the context of HeLa cells lacking the GRN gene.

Membrane remodeling properties of the Parkinson’s disease protein LRRK2
By quincy.tichenor onPreprint: The authors examine how purified LRRK2 directly binds acidic lipid bilayers in a cell-free system and can deform them into narrow tubules in a guanylnucleotide-dependent but ATP-independent way.
Cellular senescence: a key therapeutic target in aging and diseases
By quincy.tichenor onReview: This review discusses the role of SnCs in aging and age-related diseases, strategies to target SnCs, approaches to discover and develop senotherapeutics, and preclinical and clinical advances of senolytics.
Disruption of lysosomal proteolysis in astrocytes facilitates midbrain proteostasis failure in an early-onset PD model
By quincy.tichenor onPublished: Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on biopolymers accompany cellular aging and drives poorly understood disease processes. Here, authors studied how AGEs contribute to development of early on-set Parkinson’s disease (PD) caused by loss-of-function of DJ1, a protein deglycase. View original preprint.
