PI4KB requires either ACBD3 or C10orf76 for its recruitment to the Golgi apparatus. (A) Western blot analysis of the abundance of endogenous PI4KB. Cell lysates were immunoblotted with anti-PI4KB or anti-GAPDH antibodies. The graph represents the mean ± SEM (three biological replicates) of the band intensity of PI4KB, which was normalized by that of the loading control GAPDH. Statistical significance was determined by two-sided Dunnett test. n.s., not significant. (B) Microscopic observation of FLAG-PI4KB recruitment to the Golgi apparatus. Cells stably expressing FLAG-PI4KB were treated with 0 or 2 μM PIK93 for 4 h. Fixed cells were then immunostained with anti-FLAG and anti-GM130 antibodies. (C) Image analysis of B. Data are representative of two independent experiments with similar results. The dots represent the Pearson’s correlation coefficient between FLAG-PI4KB and the Golgi marker GM130 in one cell (n = 24–36), calculated from at least three images. The line segments represent the median. Orange, without PIK93; light blue, PIK93-treated. Statistical differences, determined by Steel-Dwass test, between the parent and KO cells in each of the PIK93-treated and untreated conditions are shown. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.005; ***, P < 0.0005. (D) Analysis of PtdIns(4)P pools in the Golgi apparatus. Fixed cells were immunostained with anti-PtdIns(4)P and anti-GM130 antibodies. The dots represent the intensity of Golgi-PtdIns(4)P normalized by the Golgi area in one cell (n = 23–30), calculated from at least three images. Data are representative of two independent experiments with similar results. The blue line segments represent the median. Statistical significance was determined by Steel-Dwass test. ***, P < 0.0005. n.s., not significant. (B and C) Nuclei were visualized by staining with DAPI. Scale bars, 10 μm.
