Etf-1 activates PtdIns3K and colocalizes with ATG5 and LC3. (A) RF/6A cells were transfected with Etf-1-GFP or GFP control plasmids, and the PtdIns3P amount was determined by competitive ELISA at 2 d p.t. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of triplicate assays. *, Significantly different by the Tukey HSD test (P < 0.05). (B and C) Etf-1 colocalizes with ATG5 and LC3. HEK293 cells cotransfected with GFP-ATG5 and Etf-1-DsRed (B) or GFP-LC3 and Etf-1-DsRed (C) were treated at 1 d p.t. with 10 nM BAF for 16 h prior to fixation. Merged/DIC, fluorescence image merged with DIC image. Scale bars: 10 μm. (D) The percentage colocalization of Etf-1 with ATG5 or LC3 was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients with ImageJ software. Results were average values of 10 to 20 cells per group ± standard deviation from 3 independent experiments.
