Kif18A's loop2 is necessary but not sufficient for motor accumulation at K-fiber ends. (A) Protein sequence alignment of the loop2 regions for the indicated kinesins. Kif18A's loop2 contains six lysine residues (underlined), which were mutated to alanine (orange, underlined) in Kif18A-L2-K6A. (B) Western blots of lysates transfected with the indicated siRNAs and GFP-tagged transgenes. Purified Kif18A-GFP (30 ng) was also loaded for comparison. Blots were probed with anti-Kif18A (top) and anti-GAPDH (bottom) antibodies. (C) Fluorescence micrographs of the indicated GFP-tagged kinesins (green) in cells immunostained with ACA (centromeres, red) and tubulin (blue). (D) Line scans of GFP-tagged kinesin (green trace) relative to tubulin (blue trace) and ACA fluorescence (red trace) along peripheral K-fibers.
