(A) Interaction assay of Vps34 with Vps15, Beclin1, UVRAG, and Atg14L in LDHA knockdown HEK293T cells that rescued empty vector, LDHAS196A-Flag, and LDHAS196D-Flag. (B) Interaction assay of Vps34 lactylation sites mutants with Vps15, Beclin1, UVRAG, and Atg14L in HEK293T cells. Vps34WT-Flag, Vps34K356R-Flag, Vps34K781R-Flag, and Vps342KR-Flag were transfected into HEK293T cells. (C) Interaction assay of Vps34 lactylation sites mutants with Vps15, Beclin1, UVRAG, and Atg14L in HEK293T cells in normal medium or EBSS medium for 3 hours. Interaction assay as in (B). (D) Interaction assay of Vps34 with Vps15, Beclin1, UVRAG, and Atg14L in HEK293T cells that were cultured in normal medium or normal medium containing lactate (1 mM) for 24 hours. Interaction assay as in (A). (E) Interaction assay of Vps34 with Vps15, Beclin1, UVRAG and Atg14L in TIP60 knockdown HEK293T cells that were cultured normal medium or EBSS medium for 3 hours. Interaction assay as in (A). (F) Vps34 kinase activity assay by GFP-FYVE2. GFP-FYVE2 was expressed in U2OS cells (control shRNA, Vps34 KD/rescued by vector, Vps34WT, and Vps342KR) and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Scale bar, 10 μm. (G) Quantification of the relative GFP-FYVE2 puncta. Data are shown as means ± SD; **P < 0.01, n = 30. (H) GFP-DFCP1 puncta assay in U2OS cells (control shRNA, Vps34 KD, and Vps34 KD/rescued by Vps34WT and Vps34r2KR) under EBSS medium for 2 hours. Scale bar, 10 μm. (I) Quantification of the relative GFP-DFCP1 puncta. Data are shown as means ± SD; **P < 0.01, n = 30. (J) PI(3)P level determined by PI(3)P ELISA kit in U2OS cells (control shRNA and Vps34 KD/rescued by vector, Vps34WT, and Vps342KR). **P < 0.01, n = 5. (K) Kinase activity of Vps34WT and Vps342KR in vitro by PI(3)P ELISA kit. Vps34WT and Vps342KR were purified from insect cells sf9, and TIP60-HA was purified from HEK293T cells. Vps34 lactylation was analyzed by Pan-Kla antibody. Data are shown as means ± SD; **P < 0.01, n = 3.
