ITRAQ Analysis of DJ-1 Knockout Rodent Brains

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the DJ-1 (Park7) gene cause autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease in humans, but the function of the DJ-1 protein is poorly characterized. In an effort to understand more about the biology of DJ-1, we performed iTRAQ analyses on subcellular fractions enriched from DJ-1 knockout rat and mouse brains. We generated iTRAQ datasets for mitochondria and cytosol enriched fractions from 6-month-old rat brains, and the cytosol enriched fraction from 14-15-month old mouse brains. Our subsequent analyses of these datasets led to our discovery that the Hexokinase 1 protein was increased in the cytosol components of both DJ-1 knockout species.
