Western blot - Anti-Beclin 1 antibody [OTI4A10] (AB118148)

Lanes 1 - 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab118148 observed at 60 kDa. Red - loading control, ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) observed at 37kDa.

ab118148 was shown to react with Beclin 1 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when BECN1 knockout sample was used. Wild-type HeLa and BECN1 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in non-mammalian (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with ab118148 and ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Beclin 1 antibody [OTI4A10] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab118148 was shown to bind specifically to Beclin 1. A band was observed at 52 kDa in wild-type Jurkat cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in BECN1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab283778 (BECN1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab283792). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane above 52 kDa is likely to represent Beclin 1 with an insertion. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and BECN1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited Jurkat cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

Beclin 1 sometimes referred to as beclin-1 or becn1 is a protein that plays a mechanical role in autophagy. This process involves the recycling of cellular components and is essential for maintaining cellular health. Beclin 1 is approximately 60 kDa in molecular weight and is expressed in a variety of tissues throughout the body. It acts at the molecular level engaging in the initial stages of autophagosome formation which are critical for cell survival during nutrient deprivation.
Biological function summary

The protein functions as an important component of the Beclin 1 autophagy complex which orchestrates the autophagic process. This complex is essential for promoting autophagosome nucleation by interacting with multiple partners that regulate the autophagy pathway. In addition to its role in autophagy Beclin 1 protein stabilizes interactions with other autophagic proteins ensuring the correct assembly and activity of this cellular mechanism. The regulation of Beclin 1's activity and expression influences the efficiency and specificity of autophagy in cells.

Pathways

Beclin 1 integrates into critical cellular pathways like the PI3K/Akt pathway and the mTOR pathway which are pivotal in cell growth and survival. Within these pathways beclin cooperates closely with proteins such as ATG14 and VPS34. These interactions facilitate the recruitment and activation of additional factors that promote the elongation of phagophores which eventually become complete autophagosomes. The coordination of these pathways ensures the proper balance between cell survival and death adapting to cellular conditions.

Beclin 1 shows significant relevance in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal Beclin 1 expression and function are linked to a range of cancers as its dysregulation affects apoptosis and autophagic turnover. Furthermore in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease altered Beclin 1 activity can disrupt normal protein degradation exacerbating protein aggregation a hallmark of these conditions. Interactions with proteins like Bcl-2 are essential in the context of these diseases as Bcl-2 modulates the autophagic and apoptotic balance directly impacting disease progression.

Target data

Plays a central role in autophagy (PubMed : 18570871, PubMed : 21358617, PubMed : 23184933, PubMed : 23974797, PubMed : 25484083, PubMed : 28445460, PubMed : 37776275). Acts as a core subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate; different complex forms are believed to play a role in multiple membrane trafficking pathways : PI3KC3-C1 is involved in initiation of autophagosomes and PI3KC3-C2 in maturation of autophagosomes and endocytosis. Involved in regulation of degradative endocytic trafficking and required for the abscission step in cytokinesis, probably in the context of PI3KC3-C2 (PubMed : 20208530, PubMed : 20643123, PubMed : 23974797, PubMed : 26783301). Essential for the formation of PI3KC3-C2 but not PI3KC3-C1 PI3K complex forms. Involved in endocytosis (PubMed : 25275521). May play a role in antiviral host defense.. Beclin-1-C 35 kDa localized to mitochondria can promote apoptosis; it induces the mitochondrial translocation of BAX and the release of proapoptotic factors.. (Microbial infection) Protects against infection by a neurovirulent strain of Sindbis virus.
