Exposure of PE on the surface of R-41 mutant cells. a, Binding of 125I-SA-Ro to the plasma membrane. CHO-K1 and R-41 mutant cells were incubated in ethanolamine-deficient medium without (CHO-K1, R-41) or with either 30 μM PE (R-41+PE) or 20 μM ethanolamine (R-41+Etn) at 39.5°C for 3 d. Cells were incubated with 125I-SA-Ro (30,000 cpm/ml) on ice for 30 min. The cells were then washed and their radioactivity was measured. The results show the mean ± SEM (n = 3). b, Exposure of PE on the cleavage furrow membrane of R-41 mutant cells. R-41 mutant cells were incubated in ethanolamine-deficient medium with (R-41+Etn) or without (R-41) 20 μM ethanolamine at 39.5°C for 3 d and then synchronized in mitotic phase. The synchronized cells were collected, washed, and then further incubated for 30 min. The cells were washed and stained with FL–SA-Ro for 30 min on ice, then washed and photographed. Bar, 10 μm. The arrowheads indicate the cleavage furrow.
