Interactions between Beclin 1 and 14-3-3 proteins or Beclin 1 and vimentin promoted by active Akt. (A) Immunoprecipitation of 14-3-3 proteins with endogenous Beclin 1 in HeLa cells with or without starvation for 2 hours. (B to C) Endogenous Beclin 1 S295 phosphorylation (B) and immunoprecipitation of endogenous 14-3-3 and vimentin with endogenous Beclin 1 (C) in Rat2 fibroblasts tranduced with control vector or myr-Akt1. (D) Immunoprecipitation of endogenous 14-3-3 and vimentin with Flag-Beclin 1 in Rat2 cells transduced with indicated Flag-Beclin 1 and Akt constructs. *, non-specific band. (E) Localization of Flag-Beclin 1 with endogenous vimentin in Rat2 cells transduced with the indicated vectors. WCL, whole cell lysates.
