Loss of Ezrin disrupts the formation of apical membrane complexes. (A) BBs were isolated from control (lanes 1 and 3) and Ez−/− (lanes 2 and 4) small intestines. Total cell lysate (TCL) and BB fractions were solubilized in the presence of 1% SDS. Villin served as a positive control for the BB fraction and aminopeptidase N (APN), and Crumbs3 served as controls for apical membrane proteins. Note the specific loss of NHERF1 and Slk in Ez−/− BBs. (B and C) NHERF1 is apically concentrated in colonic epithelia from tamoxifen-treated Ezlox/lox (control, B), but not Vil-Cre-ERT2;Ezlox/lox (Ez−/−, C) mice.
