Figure 5. Sca1 is enriched at the leading edge of chemotaxing cells.
(A) Live imaging of LY294002-treated scaA− cells expressing GFP-Sca1 or wild-type cells expressing soluble GFP and migrating in an exponential gradient of cAMP delivered by a micropipette. *, Position of the micropipette. (B) scaA− cells expressing GFP-Sca1 or wild-type cells expressing either the RasG-GTP reporter (GFP-Raf1RBD) or soluble GFP, and migrating under agar in a cAMP gradient, were imaged by TIRFM. Signal from the soluble GFP had to be intensified in order to be visualized. Arrows mark regions of enriched fluorescence. Scale bars represent 5 µm.
