Article Title: STX1A localizes to the lysosome and controls its exocytosis
doi: 10.1101/2025.03.29.646068
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A, E) IFM analysis of HeLa cells transfected with control or two different STX1A (1 and 2) siRNA sequences. The cells were stained for LAMP1 and LBPA or CD63 (A). Another set of cells was overexpressed with RFP-LC3 or tfLC3 (rat LC3 fused to mRFP and EGFP, E). RFP-LC3 expressing cells were stained for LAMP1. Individual and merged panels are shown separately. Insets are magnified views of the white boxed areas. Scale bars, 10 µm. (B) Plot represents the Pearson’s correlation coefficient ( r ) between LAMP1 and LBPA, shown in A. (C, D, G) Immunoblotting analysis of control and STX1A knockdown cell lysates. The blots were probed for checking the expression of different lysosome associated proteins in C, cargo proteins in D, and autophagy related proteins in G. γ- tubulin is used as the loading control in all immunoblots. The fold change in band intensities was normalized with internal control and indicated on the blots. (F) Plots represent the number of RFP-LC3 puncta, Pearson’s correlation coefficient ( r value) between LAMP1 and RFP-LC3, and the number of autolysosomes. The average values in mean±s.e.m. are indicated on the graphs. N=3. ns-non-significant, **p≤0.01, and ***p≤0.001.
