Figure 3. The FANCD2 NLS is required for the nuclear localization of a subset of FANCI.

Figure 3

(A) FA-D2 patient cells or FA-D2 cells stably expressing FANCD2-WT were incubated in the absence (NT) or presence of MMC for 24 h, fixed, stained with rabbit polyclonal anti-FANCD2 or anti-FANCI antibody and counterstained with phalloidin and DAPI. AF-488, Alexa Fluor 488. (B) FA-D2 cells stably expressing LacZ, FANCD2-WT, FANCD2-∆N57, FANCD2-∆N100, and FANCD2-3N were incubated in the absence (NT) or presence of MMC for 24 h, fixed, and stained with rabbit polyclonal anti-FANCI antibody, and counterstained with phalloidin and DAPI. At least 300 cells were scored for cytoplasmic (Cyto.), nuclear (Nucl.), and both cytoplasmic and nuclear (Both) localization of FANCI. (C) COS-7 cells were transiently transfected with no DNA, FANCI-GFP, FANCI-GFP plus FANCD2-V5-WT, or FANCI-GFP plus FANCD2-V5-∆N57. Whole-cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-V5 or anti-GFP antibodies and immune complexes immunoblotted with anti-GFP and anti-V5 antibodies.
