FIGURE 7:

Src inhibition leads to the accumulation of internalized membrane marker within MLCK rings. MLCK rings may represent MLCK-coated vesicular intermediates. (A) Cells transfected with GFP-MLCK (green) were treated with exogenous FM4-64X (red) and fluorescently labeled CTXB (blue) during hypotonic exposure in the presence of PP2 (10 μM) for 1 min before fixation. Arrows mark distinct MLCK and FM4-64X membrane dye rings. (B) Stills from live imaging of cells transfected with GFP-MLCK (green) taken at the base and treated with PP2 (10 μM) during hypotonic treatment in the presence of exogenous FM4-64X. An arrow marks an MLCK ring that appears to encircle internalized membrane marker. (C) Cells transfected with GFP-MLCK (green) were treated with exogenous FM4-64X (red) and fluorescently labeled CTXB (blue) during hypotonic exposure in the presence of PP2 (10 μM) for 5 min before fixation. An arrow marks an MLCK ring that appears to encircle a lumen of FM4-64X–bound membrane dye. Single channel signals for MLCK, FM4-64X, and CTXB (left) show that FM4-64X signal is present in the ring, whereas CTXB signal is not. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the cell (right) with magnified panels adjacent shows that the MLCK ring surrounds FM4-64X dye. (D) Model for the visualization of rings. Side views of potential involuting membrane structures labeled with FM4-64X dye and recruited MLCK are marked with a plane of focus. The corresponding predicted two-dimensional patterns of FM4-64X and MLCK signal, as seen from above, are adjacent. Scale bars are 15 μm.
