Figure S10. Solubility of αSyn and SOD1 in M83/G85R-SOD1:YFP mice. No changes in soluble versus NP40-insoluble αSyn were observed between M83/G85R-SOD1:YFP versus G85R-SOD1:YFP mice (a and b). For these immunoblots we used a sequential fractionation protocol that produced a PBS-soluble fraction and an NP40-insoluble fractions (see Methods). Here we controlled sample concentration by resuspending the NP40-insoluble fraction in a volume equivalent to the initial PBS soluble fraction. Equivalent amounts of each fraction were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (30 μL per sample). We used antibodies to GAPDH as a loading control in soluble fractions on the same blot (a). Soluble G85R-SOD1:YFP and endogenous mouse SOD1 was detected in both animal groups (c), and insoluble G85R-SOD1:YFP was not detected in either group (d). αSyn was detected using the 94-3A10 antibody (provided by the laboratory of Benoit Giasson [79]), while mouse/human SOD1 was detected using an in-house generated antibody. n = 3 per genotype.

Table S1. RNAseq expression data for SOD1 in mouse and human tauopathies. Transcriptomic data from studies of the rTg4510 and JNPL3 mouse models, and from studies of humans brain tissues from Alzheimer disease (AD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) cases available in https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2580853/wiki/409840 .

Figure S3. Primary pathology burden in the JNPL3 spinal cord relative to those crossed to G85R-SOD1:YFP mice. JNPL3 mice (a) and those on the G85R-SOD1:YFP background (b) were stained with the MC1 antibody (misfolded human tau). Lumbar spinal cord sections are shown. Scale bar; 900 μm. (TIF 1483 kb

Figure S7. Quantification of G85R-SOD1:YFP levels between G85R-SOD1:YFP and rTg4510/G85R-SOD1:YFP mice using direct fluorescence and immunoblot densitometric analysis. Quantification of fluorescence intensity reveals a significantly more intense YFP fluorescence in rTg4510/G85R-SOD1:YFP mice (abbreviated rTg4510-SOD1) compared to G85R-SOD1:YFP controls (abbreviated SOD1) (n = 4) (a). However, immunoblot analysis using an antibody to both mouse and human SOD1 demonstrates no statistical difference between levels of G85R-SOD1:YFP in the two mouse groups (b, c) (n = 3 per genotype). Endogenous mouse SOD1 (mSOD1) was used as a loading control, and was detected on the same blot shown. Statistical analysis was conducted using GraphPad Prism (version 7.0 h). Error bars show mean ± S.D.; unpaired, two tailed, T-test revealed a significant difference in fluorescence intensity in forebrain by genotype (p < 0.01). n.s.; not significant. (TIF 172 kb

Figure S12. Hypothetical mechanism of differential effects of tauopathy versus synucleinopathy on G85R-SOD1:YFP secondary aggregation in the spinal cord and cortex. In the JNPL3 spinal cord, misfolded tau occupies proteostatic factors (Factor X) that the mutant SOD1 reporter is also dependent upon for folding or degradation. In the cortex of rTg4510 mice, the levels of Factor X could be higher, or other proteostatic factors specific to brain (Factor Y) could be present to prevent the aggregation mutant SOD1. Meanwhile, misfolded αSyn occupies proteostatic factors distinct from those of tau (Factor Z), leaving a sufficient level of Factor X to prevent the aggregation of mutant SOD1. (TIF 553 kb

Figure S5. Localization of phosphotau immunoreactivity versus G85R-SOD1:YFP pathology in bigenic JNPL3-G85R-SOD1:YFP mice. Hyperphosphorylated human tau pathology recognized by the AT8 (Ser202/Thr205) antibody appears similar in JNPL3 single transgenic versus JNPL3- 85R-SOD1:YFP bigenic mice (a, b). G85R-SOD1:YFP pathology, detected by an YFP antibody (c), does not robustly co-localize with tau pathology in double transgenic mice (d). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Images are of 60× magnification within the ventral horn of the spinal cord of JNPL3 and JNPL3-G85R-SOD1:YFP mice. (TIF 869 kb

Figure S11. G85R-SOD1:YFP expression in spinal cord is 2-fold higher than forebrain in G85R-SOD1:YFP heterozygous mice. Forebrain and spinal cord tissue were extracted and 20 μg of protein was used for immunoblot analysis of SOD1 levels, using an antibody specific for human SOD1 (hSOD1) (a). Each lane represents an individual animal (n = 3). Graph represents densitometric quantification of hSOD1 levels normalized to GAPDH (b). Statistical analysis was conducted using GraphPad Prism (version 7.0 h) Error bars show mean ± S.D.; unpaired T-test. A.U.; arbitrary units. (TIF 248 kb
