Localization of mutant Lasp proteins in Lasp1 mutant background in IFM and BWM. (A) Schematic representation of all Lasp proteins. Orange box, Flag/His tag; blue box, LIM domain; pink boxes, nebulin repeats; green box, SH3 domain. Localization of mutant Lasp proteins is shown in a Lasp1 mutant background in IFM myofibrils (B) or larval BWM (C). Z-discs are visualized by anti-Kettin antibody staining (blue), Lasp proteins with anti-Flag antibody staining (green), and thin filaments with phalloidin (magenta) in the merged image. (B) In IFM, all Lasp proteins localize to the Z-disc (open arrowheads). Deletion of the LIM domain (L.LaspΔLIM) slightly impairs localization, which appears more diffuse across the thin filaments. (C) In BWM, all Lasp proteins localize to the Z-disc (open arrowheads). The LIM domain deletion (L.LaspΔLIM) and the point mutation in the first nebulin repeat (L.LaspY86S) also localize to the A-band (bracket). The nebulin domain deletion (L.LaspΔNEB12), the SH3 domain deletion (L.LaspΔSH3), and the point mutation in the second nebulin repeat (L.LaspY121S) disrupt A-band localization. Moreover, the deletion of the SH3 domain leads to a weaker Z-disc localization of Lasp. Closed arrowheads indicate the M-line. Bars, 5 µm. Data shown are from larvae or 3-d-old adults.
