Figure 4. Nuclear ISO6 and ISO12 FMRP are present in Cajal bodies.

Figure 4

(A) Structural comparisons between the longest isoform 1 (ISO1) and the nuclear isoforms lacking the NES and RGG domains. Note that all isoforms lacking the NES domain (exon 14) have C-termini different (highlighted in gray) from the main FMRP isoform, due to frame shifts. Note also that mAb1C3 detects all FMRP isoforms. (B) Localization of cytoplasmic and nuclear FMRP isoforms tagged with GFP, after transfection of HeLa cells with the corresponding expression vectors. Note the presence of ISO6 and ISO12 in Cajal bodies, while ISO1 is exclusively localized in the cytoplasm. (C) GFP-ISO6 FMRP colocalizes with Coilin in Cajal bodies (white arrow heads).
