TFEB translocates to the nucleus during mitophagy in a Parkin- and PINK1-dependent manner. (A) YFP-Parkin HeLa cells were treated with O/A for up to 10 h, fractionated, and immunoblotted. (B) Quantification of data in A. Endogenous TFEB expression was normalized to GAPDH (cytosol) or histone H3 (nuclear) and nuclear TFEB expressed as a percentage of total TFEB. Data are means ± SD (n = 3). (C) mCherry-Parkin HeLa cells were left untreated (Control), starved (2 h), or treated with torin 1 (2 h), O/A (6 h), or valinomycin (Val; 6 h). CIP treatment of cell lysates was performed before immunoblotting. (D) WT and mCherry-Parkin HeLa cells were treated with DMSO or O/A (6 h), lysed, and immunoblotted. A CIP-treated control was included as a reference for total TFEB dephosphorylation. (E) WT and mCherry-Parkin HeLa cells were treated with DMSO, torin 1, or O/A for 18 h and analyzed by quantitative PCR for TFEB target gene expression. Data are means ± SD (n = 3). (F) WT and PINK1 KO HeLa cells stably expressing TFEB-GFP with or without mCherry-Parkin were treated as in C. Fixed cells were stained with DAPI and analyzed by immunofluorescence. Bars, 10 µm. See Fig. S1 F for quantification. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
