Overview

ATG14, Autophagy related protein 14, or BAKOR for Beclin 1-associated autophagy-related key regulator, is a key player in the autophagosome nucleation step in macroautophagy. Upon cellular stress, the nutrient/energy-sensitive sensors mTOR and AMPK lead to the activation of the ULK1 complex, which allows phosphorylation of ATG14 on Serine 29, in turn enabling the downstream activation of the PIK3C3 autophagosome nucleation complex.

HTRF Phospho ATG14 assay principle

The HTRF Phospho-ATG14 (Ser29) assay measures ATG14 when phosphorylated at Ser 29. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer.

The Phospho-ATG14 (Ser29) assay uses 2 labeled antibodies: one with a donor fluorophore, the other with an acceptor. The first antibody was selected for its specific binding to the phosphorylated motif on the protein, and the second for its ability to recognize the protein independently of its phosphorylation state. Protein phosphorylation enables an immune-complex formation involving the two labeled antibodies which brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity to the acceptor, thereby generating a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of phosphorylated protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the protein’s phosphorylation state under a no-wash assay format.

Principle of the HTRF phospho-ATG14 (Ser29) assay

HTRF Phospho-ATG14 Ser29 2-plate assay protocol

The 2 plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well low volume detection plate before the addition of the Phospho-ATG14  Ser 29 HTRF detection reagents.

This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

Two-plate protocol of the HTRF phospho ATG14 assay

HTRF Phospho-ATG14 Ser29 one-plate assay protocol

Detection of phospho ATG14 Ser 29 with HTRF reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, stimulation, and lysis. No washing steps are required.

This HTS-designed protocol enables miniaturization while maintaining robust HTRF quality.

ATG14 signaling pathway in macro-autophagy

Cellular Autophagy is a specialized degradation and recycling process that is instrumental for cell homeostasis, being activated in response to several different stresses. There are 3 types of autophagy: macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. Macroautophagy pathways involve several key steps: initiation, nucleation, elongation of phagophore complexes, then sequestration of cytoplasmic cargos with LC3-PE recruitment followed by fusion with lysosome yielding to cargo degradations.

Biogenesis of the autophagosome is controlled by sequential and concerted actions of the so-called autophagy related proteins, ATGs, which are activated and recruited to the ER and autophagosome membranes. The recruitment of the ULK1 complex is the first event in the initiation step. ULK1 is a Ser/Thr kinase which forms a complex with the Atg13, Atg101 and FIP200 proteins. This complex is the most upstream component of the core autophagy machinery and is therefore the key initiator of autophagy in mammalian cells. ULK1 is regulated by the key nutrient/energy-sensitive kinases mTOR and AMPK, which are both able to phosphorylate ULK1 on Serine 317 and Serine 556, and directly regulate its kinase activity.

The Activated ULK1 complex then binds ATG14 via ATG13, and phosphorylates ATG14 on Serine 29. The kinase activity of phosphorylated and activated ATG14 stimulates other proteins of the PIK3C3 complex (nucleation) that is responsible for the critical step of phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositols (PI) into phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P). This in turn is responsible for the formation of the initial phagosomal membrane structure and later allows fixation of LC3-II using other ATG proteins (ATG16/12/5 complex), thus generating a support for elongation and closing steps.

This means tha phosphorylation of ATG14 protein on serine 29 is a key early marker of the nucleation step in the engagement of the macroautophagic process.
