FIGURE 1:
Specific defects in NPC distribution in heh1Δ and heh2Δ strains. Fluorescence micrographs (top panels) of deconvolved images of GFP-Nup49p, Mlp1-GFP, and Esc1-GFP in either heh1Δ, heh2Δ, or heh1Δheh2Δ strains. A merge between phase-contrast images and the fluorescent images are shown in bottom panels. To better visualize the cytoplasmic accumulation of GFP-Nup49 foci (arrows), a maximum intensity projection (MIP) is shown. Note that in heh2Δ cells there are few cytoplasmic GFP-Nup49p foci and the NPCs appear clustered at the NE.
