Custom antibody synthesis is both expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, the ability to repurpose existing commercially available antibodies to detect their corresponding C. elegans orthologs can be very beneficial. Here, we attempted to use the commercially available DJ-1 antibody NB300-270 to detect C. elegans DJR-1.1 and DJR-1.2 proteins in whole worm lysates. Our results indicate that the NB300-270 DJ-1 antibody does not cross-react with C. elegans DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 proteins and hence cannot be used to detect these proteins in C. elegans.

All C. elegans strains were grown on MYOB agar plates (3.49 mM Tris-Cl, 1.98 mM Tris-base, 0.31% (w/v) bactopeptone, 34.2 mM sodium chloride, 8 μg/ml cholesterol, 2% (w/v) agar) seeded with OP50 bacteria and maintained at 20°C (Ashraf et al., 2026). The strains used in this study are listed in Table 1.
Preparation of C. elegans lysates for immunoblotting
C. elegans lysates for immunoblotting were adapted from Xie, S. et al. 2022 and prepared as follows. Briefly, 100 gravid adults for each genotype were picked using a platinum pick into 1ml of M9 buffer (3g KH2PO4, 6g Na2HPO4, 5g NaCl, 1ml 1M MgSO4 dissolved in 1 liter of H2O). The worms were washed two times in 1ml of M9 buffer by centrifuging them at 300 x g for 5min. The supernatant was discarded and the worm pellet was then resuspended in 35µl of Laemmli SDS sample buffer, reducing (4X) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), heated at 95°C for 10 min and stored at −30°C until further use (Xie et al., 2022).
Immunoblotting of C. elegans lysates
C. elegans lysates were subjected to reducing SDS-PAGE electrophoresis followed by the dry blotting method. Briefly, 12µl of each worm lysate was loaded onto each well of a 4-20% SurePAGE™ Precast Bis-Tris Gel (Genscript Inc.) (Table 1). The gels were run at a constant current of 20mA for 15min then switched to 30mA for 1hr until sufficient band separation was achieved. The proteins were transferred from the gel onto a 0.2µm PVDF membrane using the Invitrogen iBLOT2 dry transfer method using the following 7min protocol (20V for 1min; 23V for 4min; 25V for 2min). The membranes were blocked using a blocking buffer (1× Tris-buffered saline, 0.5% Fish Gelatin, 0.1% Tween 20, 0.02% Sodium Azide) then incubated with rabbit anti-DJ-1 (1:1000; Novus Biologicals, NB300-270) antibody overnight at 4°C or a mouse anti-alpha tubulin (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, SC-32293) at room temperature for several hours. The membrane was washed three times with 1× Tris-buffered saline, (19.8mM Tris-base, 150 mM NaCl; TBS) and incubated with the goat anti-rabbit-IgG 800CW secondary antibody (1:4000, LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.) for 4hrs, or with the goat anti-mouse-IgG 680RD secondary antibody (1:10,000; LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.) for 2hrs, washed three times with TBS, and imaged using the LI-COR Odyssey CLx imager (LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.)

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), is a self-fertilizing nematode, that has been established as a model organism for neurodegenerative disease because the use of mammalian models, while invaluable, are subject to ethical considerations which make them expensive and time consuming (Chakraborty et al., 2013; Harrington et al., 2010). Antibodies are essential tools necessary for investigating biological research and while the vast majority of commercially available antibodies target mammalian proteins, few such reagents are available to detect C. elegans proteins (Hadwiger et al., 2010). One such protein, is Parkinson’s disease (PD)-associated gene 7 (PARK7/DJ-1). DJ-1 protein is ubiquitously expressed in most mammalian tissues, primarily the brain within the cytosol and mitochondria (Chakraborty et al., 2013). In C. elegans, DJ-1 exists as two distinct orthologs of the human DJ-1 (PARK7) gene, djr-1.1 and djr-1.2. DJR-1.1 primarily localizes to the intestinal cells while DJR-1.2 is expressed in neurons (Chakraborty et al., 2013; Lee et al., 2012a).
In classic mammalian physiology, mutations in PARK7 gene alter the structure and function of the encoded protein DJ-1, which increases the risk of developing autosomal recessive PD (Cooper & Van Raamsdonk, 2018; Skou et al., 2024). DJ-1 belongs to a large and functionally diverse homologous family, primarily implicated in oxidative stress by detoxing the cells’ excess accumulation of glyoxal and methylglyoxal stress factors (Lee et al., 2012b, 2013). Recently, DJ-1 has been shown having RNA-binding activity (Niere et al., 2023; van der Brug et al., 2008). Indeed, we have demonstrated that DJ-1 binds to the mRNA coding for the alpha and auxiliary Ca2+ channel subunits CaV1.2 and α2δ2, and represses their mRNA translation in preclinical models of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that exhibit overactive mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) or mTORopathy (Niere et al., 2023). As calcium is widely held as the most common second messenger, repression of these channels can profoundly alter calcium-dependent cellular processes such membrane excitability, transcription and translation (Kennedy, 1989). Since mammalian DJ-1 shares a conserved structure and function with C. elegans DJR-1.1 and DJR-1.2, C. elegans could serve as a useful system to investigate other mTOR/DJ-1-dependent pathways (djr-1.1 (Gene) - WormBase : Nematode Information Resource, 2026; djr-1.2 (Gene) - WormBase : Nematode Information Resource, 2026). Therefore, to investigate the roles of the C. elegans DJR-1.1 and DJR-1.2 proteins, we tested whether the commercially available Novus Biologicals antibody NB300-270, which has been reported to detect DJ-1 in several species, including human, mouse, rat, bovine, golden Syrian hamster, and zebrafish, cross-reacts with C. elegans DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2.
To evaluate the specificity of the bands detected by the Novus NB300-270 antibody in C. elegans whole worm lysates, we utilized the following mutant alleles: djr-1.2(tm1346), djr-1.1(tm918) and djr-1.2(tm951). The djr-1.1(tm918) strain contains an 825-bp deletion that removes the first two annotated exons of djr-1.1, whereas djr-1.2(tm1346) contains a complex 1,035-bp deletion accompanied by a 378-bp insertion. Both djr-1.1(tm918) and djr-1.2(tm1346) are predicted null alleles (Cornejo Castro et al., 2010). In contrast, djr-1.2(tm951) contains a 729-bp deletion located upstream of the annotated djr-1.2 gene, which may result in an altered expression of djr-1.2 through disruption of regulatory sequences (The C. elegans Deletion Mutant Consortium, 2012) (Table 1). Using western blotting, we demonstrate that the Novus Biologicals NB300-270 DJ-1 antibody is unable to detect either DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 in C. elegans whole-worm lysates, as all lanes display similar bands that are not altered in the mutant strains (Figure 1, top panel). Furthermore, the antibody fails to detect bands at the expected molecular weight of DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 (~20 kDa), indicating that the observed bands are non-specific. Importantly, the blot for the loading control (α-tubulin) shows that similar amounts of whole worm lysates were loaded for all samples (Figure 1, bottom panel). These data collectively indicate that the bands detected by the DJ-1 antibody are non-specific and that this antibody cannot be used to reliably detect C. elegans DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2.

Indeed, we have demonstrated that DJ-1 binds to the mRNA coding for the alpha and auxiliary Ca2+ channel subunits CaV1.2 and α2δ2, and represses their mRNA translation in preclinical models of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) that exhibit overactive mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) or mTORopathy (Niere et al., 2023). As calcium is widely held as the most common second messenger, repression of these channels can profoundly alter calcium-dependent cellular processes such membrane excitability, transcription and translation (Kennedy, 1989). Since mammalian DJ-1 shares a conserved structure and function with C. elegans DJR-1.1 and DJR-1.2, C. elegans could serve as a useful system to investigate other mTOR/DJ-1-dependent pathways (djr-1.1 (Gene) - WormBase : Nematode Information Resource, 2026; djr-1.2 (Gene) - WormBase : Nematode Information Resource, 2026). Therefore, to investigate the roles of the C. elegans DJR-1.1 and DJR-1.2 proteins, we tested whether the commercially available Novus Biologicals antibody NB300-270, which has been reported to detect DJ-1 in several species, including human, mouse, rat, bovine, golden Syrian hamster, and zebrafish, can detect C. elegans DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 in whole worm lysates.
To evaluate the specificity of the bands detected by the Novus NB300-270 antibody in C. elegans whole worm lysates, we utilized the following mutant alleles: djr-1.2(tm1346), djr-1.1(tm918) and djr-1.2(tm951). The djr-1.1(tm918) strain contains an 825-bp deletion that removes the first two annotated exons of djr-1.1, whereas djr-1.2(tm1346) contains a complex 1,035-bp deletion accompanied by a 378-bp insertion. Both djr-1.1(tm918) and djr-1.2(tm1346) are predicted null alleles (Cornejo Castro et al., 2010). In contrast, djr-1.2(tm951) contains a 729-bp deletion located upstream of the annotated djr-1.2 gene, which may result in an altered expression of djr-1.2 through disruption of regulatory sequences (The C. elegans Deletion Mutant Consortium, 2012) (Reagents). Using western blotting, we demonstrate that the Novus Biologicals NB300-270 DJ-1 antibody is unable to detect either DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 in C. elegans whole-worm lysates, as all lanes display similar bands that are not altered in the mutant strains (Figure 1, top panel). Furthermore, the antibody fails to detect bands at the expected molecular weight of DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 (~20 kDa), indicating that the observed bands are non-specific. Importantly, the blot for the loading control (α-tubulin) shows that similar amounts of whole worm lysates were loaded for all samples (Figure 1, bottom panel). These data collectively indicate that the bands detected by the DJ-1 antibody are non-specific and that this antibody cannot be used to reliably detect C. elegans DJR-1.1 or DJR-1.2 in whole worm lysates.

","methods":"C. elegans growth and maintenance
All C. elegans strains were grown on MYOB agar plates (3.49 mM Tris-Cl, 1.98 mM Tris-base, 0.31% (w/v) bactopeptone, 34.2 mM sodium chloride, 8 μg/ml cholesterol, 2% (w/v) agar) seeded with OP50 bacteria and maintained at 20°C (Ashraf et al., 2026). The strains used in this study are listed in Reagents.
Preparation of C. elegans lysates for immunoblotting
C. elegans lysates for immunoblotting were adapted from Xie, S. et al. 2022 and prepared as follows. Briefly, 100 gravid adults for each genotype were picked using a platinum pick into 1ml of M9 buffer (3g KH2PO4, 6g Na2HPO4, 5g NaCl, 1ml 1M MgSO4 dissolved in 1 liter of H2O). The worms were washed two times in 1ml of M9 buffer by centrifuging them at 300 x g for 5min. The supernatant was discarded and the worm pellet was then resuspended in 35µl of Laemmli SDS sample buffer, reducing (4X) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), heated at 95°C for 10 min and stored at −30°C until further use (Xie et al., 2022).
Immunoblotting of C. elegans lysates
C. elegans lysates were subjected to reducing SDS-PAGE electrophoresis followed by the dry blotting method. Briefly, 12µl of each worm lysate was loaded onto each well of a 4-20% SurePAGE™ Precast Bis-Tris Gel (Genscript Inc.) (Reagents). The gels were run at a constant current of 20mA for 15min then switched to 30mA for 1hr until sufficient band separation was achieved. The proteins were transferred from the gel onto a 0.2µm PVDF membrane using the Invitrogen iBLOT2 dry transfer method using the following 7min protocol (20V for 1min; 23V for 4min; 25V for 2min). The membranes were blocked using a blocking buffer (1× Tris-buffered saline, 0.5% Fish Gelatin, 0.1% Tween 20, 0.02% Sodium Azide) then incubated with rabbit anti-DJ-1 antibody (1:1000; Novus Biologicals, NB300-270) overnight at 4°C or a mouse anti-alpha tubulin antibody (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, SC-32293) at room temperature for several hours. The membrane was washed three times with 1× Tris-buffered saline, (19.8mM Tris-base, 150 mM NaCl; TBS) and incubated with the goat anti-rabbit-IgG 800CW secondary antibody (1:4000, LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.) for 4hrs, or with the goat anti-mouse-IgG 680RD secondary antibody (1:10,000; LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.) for 2hrs, washed three times with TBS, and imaged using the LI-COR Odyssey CLx imager (LI-COR Biosciences, Inc.)

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), is a self-fertilizing nematode, that has been established as a model organism for neurodegenerative disease because the use of mammalian models, while invaluable, are subject to ethical considerations which make them expensive and time consuming (Chakraborty et al., 2013; Harrington et al., 2010). Antibodies are essential tools necessary for investigating biological research and while the vast majority of commercially available antibodies target mammalian proteins, few such reagents are available to detect C. elegans proteins (Hadwiger et al., 2010). One such protein, is Parkinson's disease (PD)-associated gene 7 (PARK7/DJ-1). DJ-1 protein is ubiquitously expressed in most mammalian tissues, primarily the brain within the cytosol and mitochondria (Chakraborty et al., 2013). In C. elegans, DJ-1 exists as two distinct orthologs of the human DJ-1 (PARK7) gene, djr-1.1 and djr-1.2. DJR-1.1 primarily localizes to the intestinal cells while DJR-1.2 is expressed in neurons (Chakraborty et al., 2013; Lee et al., 2012).
In classic mammalian physiology, mutations in PARK7 gene alter the structure and function of the encoded protein DJ-1, which increases the risk of developing autosomal recessive PD (Cooper & Van Raamsdonk, 2018; Skou et al., 2024). DJ-1 belongs to a large and functionally diverse homologous family, primarily implicated in oxidative stress by detoxing the cells' excess accumulation of glyoxal and methylglyoxal stress factors (Lee et al., 2012, 2013). Recently, DJ-1 has been shown to have RNA-binding activity (Niere et al., 2023; van der Brug et al., 2008).
