doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.115205
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Crosstalk between PRMT1-catalyzed arginine methylation and p38a-mediated phosphorylation of TDP-43 (A) Western blot of immunoprecipitated FLAG-tagged TDP-43 from SH-SY5Y cells probed with antibodies against TDP-43, pTDP-43, and MMA. GAPDH serves as a loading control. The positions of FLAG-tagged TDP-43 (exo) and endogenous TDP-43 (endo) are indicated. (B) Western blot of immunoprecipitated FLAG-tagged TDP-43WT from SH-SY5Y cells with or without siRNA-induced p38a knockdown probed with antibodies against TDP-43, p38a, pTDP-43, and MMA. GAPDH serves as a loading control. (C) Quantification of TDP-43-CTF/full length-ratio (mean ± SD, unpaired t test, n = 3). **p < 0.01. (D) Quantification of mono-methylated TDP-43-CTF normalized to total TDP-43-CTF (mean ± SD, unpaired t test, n = 3). *p < 0.05. (E) Western blot of immunoprecipitated FLAG-tagged TDP-43WT from SH-SY5Y cells with or without PRMT1 overexpression probed with antibodies against TDP- 43, pTDP-43, and MMA. GAPDH serves as a loading control. The positions of FLAG-tagged TDP-43 (exo) and endogenous TDP-43 (endo) are indicated. The positions of Myc-tagged PRMT1 (exo) and endogenous PRMT1 (endo) are also indicated. See also Figure S7.
