Fig.2. Disruption of the centrosomal gene CEP63 in vertebrate cells.
(A) WT and CEP63KO DT40 cells were co-stained with antibodies against CEP63 (red in merge) and γ-tubulin (green in merge). Magnified views of framed areas are shown in insets. DNA is blue. Scale bar=5μm. (B) Western blots of cytoplasmic cell extracts (CCE) from WT and gene-disrupted DT40 cell lines were probed with protein G antibodies. TAP cell lines contain in-frame GsTAP tag in their CEP63 alleles. α-tubulin serves as loading control. (C) Summary of the localisation and expression of tagged and truncated CEP63 products in the DT40 cell lines specified. n/a: the antibody epitope is largely destroyed in predicted protein product.
