Figure 1

A small piece of tissue was placed in an aluminum disc and covered with a thin stainless steel foil. The assembly was frozen using high-pressure freezing, and freeze-fracture replicas were prepared. The replicas were treated sequentially with trypsin, DNase I, and SDS and then labeled. PI(4,5)P2 was marked using colloidal gold particles and observed with electron microscopy.
