Figure 7. Aberrant localization of different membrane proteins.

Figure 7

(a) The localization of several membrane proteins (FruA, P16.7, YhaP, YqfD and Rny) is changed after the MreB cytoskeleton was disturbed by addition of CCCP. Some of the foci appearing with CCCP are highlighted with arrows. The localization of other proteins (AtpA and SdhA) remains unaffected. See Supplementary Fig. 12 for more examples, and colocalization with Nile Red. Strains used: B. subtilis FruA-GFP, 110WA (p16.7-gfp), yhaP-gfp, yqfD-gfp, 3569 (rny-gfp), BS23 (atpA-gfp), BS112 (sdhA-gfp). (b) The CCCP-induced clustering of membrane proteins FruA, P16.7, YhaP and YqfD is absent in strains deficient for MreB homologues. Strains used B. subtilis HS43 (rny-gfp, ΔmreB*), HS44 (fruA-gfp, ΔmreB*), HS45 (P16.7-gfp, ΔmreB*), HS46 (yhaP-gfp, ΔmreB*), HS47 (yqfD-gfp, ΔmreB*). mreB* designates (ΔmreB, Δmbl, ΔmreBH, ΔrsgI). Scale bar, 2 μm.
