Figure 6. FNIP knockdown results in increased mTOR lysosomal localization and diffusion of FLCN in HeLa cells.

Figure 6

A. Immunoblot (IB) analysis of whole cell lysates derived from HeLa cells stably expressing shRNA against GFP (control), FNIP1, FNIP2, or FNIP1/FNIP2. After being serum and amino acid-starved for 3 h, cells were treated with fresh 10% FBS DMEM and harvested at the indicated time points. B-E. Confocal images of HeLa cells presented in (A). DAPI-loaded HeLa cells were analyzed for co-localization of FLCN (B and D) (red) or mTOR (C and E) (red) with a lysosomal marker, LAMP1 (green). Y (yellow) indicates predominant localization of FLCN or mTOR in the lysosome. Scale bars, 20 μm (5 μm in the enlarged images).
