Cultured tobacco cells were transfected with 0.5 mg of the indicated expression constructs of GFP fusion proteins or together with 0.5 μg of the expression constructs containing no GFP coding region. Plasmid quantities were equalized with the p35S-nptII plasmid. One hundred to 200 GFP-positive cells were scored for protein localization.
Percentage of cells displaying exclusive nuclear (N), relatively cytoplasmic (C), or both nuclear and cytoplasmic fluorescence (both).
The extent of the nuclear localization was weaker than that of GF-AF3 (or GF-AF1) plus DPa.
