FIGURE 1.
Generation and validation of S1R-Apex cells. (A) Schematic of the proximity biotinylation strategy (B) HeLa cells stably expressing S1R-Apex were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence using a V5 antibody (green). S1R-Apex localizes around the nuclear envelope and to ER tubules. (C) HeLa cells stably expressing S1R-Apex were fixed and processed for immunofluorescence using a V5 antibody (green). The cells were also incubated with Streptavidin-647 (red) to reveal the localization of biotinylated proteins and were counterstained using DAPI (cyan). Biotinylated proteins co-localize with S1R-Apex. (D) Control HeLa cells not expressing a biotin ligase were processed using Streptavidin-647 (red). The cells were counterstained with DAPI (cyan). Minimal Streptavidin signal is observed in these cells. The scale bar in B is 15 microns and the scale bar in C is 20 microns.
