Tardigrade tubulins localize to microtubules or to the centrosomes in mammalian cultured cells. (a) A schematic of a mammalian cell with microtubules and the centrosome. (b) Maximum intensity projections (MIP) of living U87-MG cells overexpressing indicated constructs. Human EGFP-tagged α-tubulin (TUBA1B) used as a control. Note that all tardigrade β-tubulins localize to microtubules. (c) MIP of living hTert-RPE-1 cells overexpressing indicated constructs. Note that tardigrade γ- and ε-tubulins localize to the centrosome (magenta arrows). Scale bars 10 μm.
