Fig. 7. Subcellular localization of Igu/Dzip1 proteins in cultured cells. (A-C)
Transfection of a construct encoding the His-tagged Igu/Dzip1 protein into
NIH3T3 cells. Wild-type Igu/Dzip1 proteins (A) are located in the cytoplasm
and enriched in punctate vesicles. These vesicles are also enriched with the
lysosomal protein Lamp1 (B, C). (D-F) Transfection of a construct encoding the
His-tagged Igu/Dzip1(ts294e) mutant protein. The truncated mutant
Igu/Dzip1 proteins (D) are distributed in the cytoplasm and enriched in
nuclei. (C,F) Merged images, in which nuclei are stained with
4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).
