Figure Legend Snippet: a, MAP4 loss impairs activation of Akt downstream of EGFR. Three different siRNAs were used individually to knockdown MAP4 in MDA-MB-231 cells. EGF induced Akt activation was analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Scale bar, 5 μm; Error bars denote mean±SD; n=30 cells from representative experiments. b, c, MAP4 loss impairs Akt activation downstream of integrin receptors. MDA-MB-231 cells were detached from culture plates 72-hours post-siRNA transfection for MAP4 knockdown (siMAP4#1) and resuspended in serum-free medium. Cells were seeded into culture plates-coated with type I collagen before harvesting at different time points followed by immunoblotting or immunofluorescence microscopy using an antibody specific for activated Akt and tubulin. Scale bar: 5 μm. Error bars denote mean±SD; n=4 independent experiments (b), n=30 cells from representative experiments (c) d, MAP4 overexpression promotes Akt signaling. MDA-MB-231 cells ectopically overexpressing MAP4 or Mock were serumstarved overnight before stimulating with EGF. Cells were harvested at different time points and activation levels of Akt were examined by immunoblotting using activated Akt specific antibody. Error bars denote mean±SD; n=3 independent experiments e, Effect of MAP4 knockdown in cell proliferation. MDA-MB- 468 and Cal51, both showing higher activation levels of Akt were transfected with siRNA for MAP4 knockdown. 72–96 hours postsiRNA transfection, cell numbers were manually quantified. Scale bar, 100 μm; Error bars denote mean±SD; n=3 independent experiments f. g, h, Effect of MAP4 knockdown in cell invasion and cell migration. 48–72 hours post-siRNA transfection for MAP4 knockdown, cell invasion and scratch-wound healing for cell migration were performed.

Figure Legend Snippet: a, b, Effect of MAP4 knockdown in endosomal localization of PI3Kα vesicles. siRNAs targeting the 3’ UTR region of MAP4 (siMAP4#3) were used to knockdown endogenous MAP4 in MDA-MB-231 cells expressing WT or the MTBD deletion mutant of MAP4. 48–72 hours post-transfection, cells were processed for immunofluorescence study using antibodies specific for endogenous p110α and clathrin or TFR. The quantification of the colocalization of p110α and CHC/TFR by Pearson’s r was shown in Figure 5c. The images shown are the representative images of multiple reproducible experiments. Scale bar, 5 μm
Techniques Used: Knockdown, Expressing, Mutagenesis, Transfection, Immunofluorescence

Figure Legend Snippet: a, b, Coomassie staining of proteins co-immunoprecipitated with PI3Kα antibody (anti-p85α and anti-p110α antibodies used together) showed a distinct band above 170 kDa. Mass-spectrometry analysis of the isolated protein band revealed it as microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4). The image shown is the representative images of reproducible experiments. Arrow in image indicates the band of interest for mass spectrometry analysis. c, PI3Kα in small vesicles distribute along MAP4 that mimics microtubules in different cell types.
