The pIgR cytoplasmic tail of pIgR contains a putative apical targeting signal.
A) Apical transcytosis of iodinated pIgA in MDCK cells expressing pIgR-WT or the C-terminal truncated mutants pIgR-725t, pIgR-737t and pIgR-747t. The experiment was repeated at least 5 times in triplicate for each mutant, and one representative experiment is shown.
B) Basolateral endocytosis of iodinated pIgA at 5 min mediated by the pIgR-WT or the C-terminal truncated mutants pIgR-725t, pIgR-737t and pIgR-747t. The experiment was performed twice in triplicate, and data from both experiments were combined. Values are mean ± SD.
C) Post-endocytic traffic (combined step 2 and 3 of pIgA apical transcytosis) of iodinated pIgA in MDCK cells expressing pIgR-WT or the C-terminal truncated mutants pIgR-725t, pIgR-737t and pIgR-747t. The experiment was repeated 3 times in triplicate for each mutant, and one representative experiment is shown.
