Figure 5. Nup1201-757 Does Not Localize to the Nuclear Envelope.
(Aa-Ad) Nup120-GFP is targeted to the nuclear envelope, as confirmed by co-localization with mAb414 (staining FG-Nups), while Nup1201-757-GFP (Ba-Bd) is distributed throughout the cell. Mislocalization indicates that the C-terminus of Nup120 is necessary for proper recruitment to the NPC. Nup120Δ, nup133Δ, and nup84Δ cells (in the same BY4741 strain background) are shown for comparison (Cb-Cd, Db-Dd, Eb-Ed). Nuclear rim was visualized using mAb414, GFP-tagged Nup120 using goat α-GFP, and DNA using DAPI. Merged images are shown on the right.
