Activation of autophagy signal by ARL6IP1 via interaction with LC3B. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of ARL6IP1 and LC3B in U2OS cells transfected with pEGFP-tagged ARL6IP1 or pEGFP-empty vectors (600×; scale bars: 20 μm). (B) Immunofluorescence co-localization of LC3B puncta against calnexin, VDAC, and GM130 in HeLa cells expressing GFP-LC3B transfected with FLAG-tagged ARL6IP1 (600×; scale bars: 20 μm). (C) Quantification of LC3B puncta per organelle marker positive cell. Data represent mean ± SD of 10 images (**P < 0.01). Antibodies against the calnexin (endoplasmic reticulum), VDAC-1 (mitochondria), and GM130 (Golgi) used as organelle marker proteins. (D and E) HeLa cells were transduced with Ad-ARL6IP1 or Ad-LacZ at MOI 100, and incubated for 6 h in an HBSS medium, before using the Muse Autophagy LC3-antibody-based kit with the MUSE cell analyzer to detect autophagy. Cytofluorimetric plots of LC3B-II level quantified on a Muse cell analyzer. Data presented as mean values of triplicates ± SD (**P < 0.01). (F) Schematic representation of BiFC constructs involving ARL6IP1 and autophagy-related genes. (G) HEK293 cells transiently transfected with FLAG-tagged ARL6IP1 and GST-tagged LC3B or GST empty vectors (5 μg each). Interaction between exogenous ARL6IP1 and LC3B was detected using GST pull-down and western blot analysis. (H) In vitro binding assay was performed with purified 0.5 µg His-tagged ARL6IP1 and 0.5 µg GST-tagged LC3B or GST protein from the E. coli expression system; analysis was performed via GST pull-down and western blotting. (I) Immunoprecipitation experiments of ARL6IP1 and LC3B from ReNcell CX. (J) Sequence alignment of human LC3/GABARAP proteins. (K) In vitro binding assay between ARL6IP1 and ATG8 family proteins purified from E. coli expression system. All experiments were performed by three independent biological replicates.
