Cell cycle arrest in Go and autophagy share features in common. The Bcl-2 family exerts cell cycle effects in addition to regulating apoptosis. Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) upregulate p27 and promote Go arrest. Recently, we asked whether autophagy was involved in BcI-2 and Bcl-x(L)-mediated cell cycle arrest, and found that autophagy was activated, but not required, for Go arrest. We also discovered that the cell cycle function of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) was dependent on Bax and Bak, and in bax(-/-) bak(-/-) double knockout cells, features of Go quiesecence were already present and p27 was constitutively elevated. Here, we queried the presence of autophagy in bax(-/-) bak(-/) double knockout cells, and report the phosphorylation of p27 at Thr198, which is known to occur in autophagy, as well as constitutive Atg5 induction and LC3-I to -II conversion. These findings in bax(-/-) bak(-/) cells suggest that a physiological role of Bax and Bak may be the suppression of autophagy.
