doi: 10.1101/2024.09.24.614749
Figure Lengend Snippet: A. HeLa wildtype and UBXD8 KO cells stained for peroxisomes using peroxisomal matrix marker catalase B. Quantification of average peroxisome per cell and average peroxisome size from (A). At least 100 cells were analyzed in N=3 independent experiments. Violin plot shows median and 95% confidence intervals **** : P<0.0001, N=3, Unpaired T-test. C. Peroxisome abundance in wildtype and UBXD8 KO cells that have either no peroxisomes or less then 10 peroxisomes per cell. D. Rescue of peroxisome number in UBXD8 KO cells transfected with either UBXD8-HA, UBXD8-UBA*-HA, UBXD8-ΛUAS-HA or UBXD8-UBX*-HA. Cells were stained for peroxisomes using peroxisomal matrix marker catalase. E. Quantification of average peroxisome per cell from HeLa wildtype and UBXD8 KO cells as well as UBXD8 KO cells transfected with either UBXD8-HA, UBXD8-UBA*-HA, UBXD8-ΛUAS-HA or UBXD8-UBX*-HA (D). Peroxisome numbers were quantified in cells expressing HA-tagged UBXD8 constructs only. At least 100 cells were analyzed in N=3 independent experiments. Violin plot shows median and 95% confidence intervals **, **** : P<0.05, 0.0001. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. F. Immunoblots of constructs transfected. Scale bar is 10μM.
