Summary of Effects of Dynactin Subunit Overexpression on Subcellular Organization
Class | Overexpressed protein | Microtubule array | Centrosomal p150 | γ Tubulin | Centrosomal Arp1 | Golgi | Dynactin structure | Pericentrin |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
— | Control (β-Gal) | 95 | 93 | 89 | 84 | 85 | Normal | 93 |
A | Dynamitin | 33 | 19 | 54 | 40 | 5 | Disrupted | 93 |
B | p150 | 20 | ND | 48 | 14 | 15 | Normal | 94 |
CC1 | 28 | 22 | 46 | 30 | 7 | Normal | 95 | |
C | CC2 | 33 | 37 | 49 | 89 | 88 | Normal | 95 |
p24-GFP | 20 | 39 | 47 | 85 | 80 | Normal | 94 | |
— | p62 | 83 | 87 | 85 | 81 | 63 | Normal | 95 |
Cells were scored as described in Fig. 2 (microtubule array), 3 (dynactin structure), 4 (Golgi), 5 (γ tubulin) and 6 (centrosomal Arp1 and p150), or for a pericentriolar focus of pericentrin (right-most column). The percentage of cells showing a normal phenotype is given for each overexpression condition; standard deviations are provided in the figures. Dynactin structure was analyzed on sucrose gradients (Fig. 3) and was scored as normal if endogenous p150Glued, p62, Arp1, and p24 cosedimented in a single peak at 20S. Dynactin shoulder/sidearm subunits are grouped into phenotypic classes (A, B, and C) as described in Discussion.
