Flow cytometry can be used to quantify the number of detergent-insoluble EGFP ataxin-3 particles relative to the number of nuclei. (A) Representative flow cytometry scatterplots displaying UV+ nuclei and EGFP-fused ataxin-3 particles from cell lysates. (B) Quantification of the number of DAPI+ nuclei revealed that similar numbers of nuclei were present in the analysed samples. (C) Cells expressing EGFP-fused mutant ataxin-3 (84 glutamines) developed significantly more insoluble particles compared to EGFP alone or EGFP-fused ataxin-3 with a short polyglutamine stretch (28 glutamines). (D) Detergent-insoluble particle size did not significantly differ across the examined genotypes. Data are meanąs.e.m. n=4-9 experimental replicates. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ns, not significant (one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test). AU, arbitrary units; RFU, relative fluorescence units. |
