Dicer has the potential to shuttle. Heterokaryon analysis of Dicer-SV40. HeLa cells were cotransfected with plasmids expressing Dicer-SV40 and either hnRNPA1 (positive shuttling control; top panel) or hnRNPC (negative shuttling control; bottom panel). The transfected cells were fused with nontransfected mouse NIH 3T3 cells. Dicer-SV40 was detected in both HeLa and NIH 3T3 nuclei (top and bottom panels) as was hnRNPA1 (top panel). hnRNPC was only detected in the HeLa nuclei (bottom panel). Nuclei were distinguished by DAPI staining and are indicated. (h) Human HeLa cells, (m) mouse NIH 3T3 cells. Bar, 5 µm.
