Quantification of αTAT1 mRNA expression in cells treated with siRNA against αTAT1 (two independent siRNAs; #5 and #9).
Left panel; immunoblot for α‐tubulin and acetylated tubulin (Ac‐tub) upon αTAT1 depletion (two independent siRNAs; #5 and #9). Right panel; percentage of acetylated tubulin relative to total α‐tubulin.
Representative images of cells stained for microtubules (α‐tubulin; gray), acetylated tubulin (Ac‐tubulin, orange) and DNA (Hoechst, cyan) upon αTAT1 depletion. Scale bar: 20 μm.
Representative images of cells stained for early endosomes (EEA1, orange), F‐actin (phalloidin, gray), and DNA (Hoechst, cyan) upon αTAT1 depletion. Scale bar: 10 μm.
