PI(5)P Regulates Autophagosome Biogenesis

(A and B) Western blot analysis of LC3-II and tubulin levels and quantification of LC3-II/tubulin ratio in HeLa cells treated with carrier alone, or in combination with PI(5)P di-C16 at indicated concentrations for 1 hr, in the absence and presence of 400 nM BAF (treated in combination with lipids). Note that LC3-I is often very faint compared with LC3-II in HeLa cells under the protein extraction conditions we used (see Figure S1C). However, this was not a problem because one should relate LC3-II to tubulin (mean ± SEM).

PI(5)P Regulates Autophagosome Biogenesis(C and D) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-LC3 were treated as in (A) and then left in complete media (basal) or starvation media (HBSS) for 2 hr, then fixed and analyzed on a Cellomics ArrayScan system. Quantification of numbers of GFP-LC3 vesicles per cell in the different conditions is shown in (D) (mean ± SEM).

(E) HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-mRFP-LC3 were treated as in (A) and analyzed on a Cellomics ArrayScan system. Quantification of numbers of autophagic vesicles (AV) or autolysosomes (AL) per cell in the different conditions is shown in the graph (mean ± SEM).

We quantified the ratio of ATG5ATG12 versus free ATG12 by direct infrared fluorescence detection on an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System to assess ATG5-ATG12 conjugation efficiency (mean ± SEM).

Note that this rendering means that vesicles positive for green and red do not look yellow but have green and red on the surface. Representative cropped regions from different cells are shown. Bar, 1.13 μm. See also Figure S1.

(B and C) Western blot analysis of LC3-II and tubulin levels and quantification of LC3-II/tubulin ratio in HeLa cells treated with DMSO or increasing concentrations of YM-201636 for 2 hr in the presence or absence of BAF (mean ± SEM).

Percentage of cells with EGFP-positive aggregates is shown in the graph; n = 500 cells (mean ± SEM). Cells expressing control vector typically have 25% of aggregates and we set the control at 100% to enable comparison and statistics from independent experiments.

(D and E) Percentage of cells with EGFP-positive aggregates was scored in HEK293 cells treated with PI5P4K2C siRNA for 5 days and cotransfected with EGFP-httQ74 for the last 48 hr (D), or in COS7 and SKNSH cells (E), transfected with PI5P4K2C plasmid together with EGFP-httQ74 for the last 48 hr.
