Figure 4. Rac1 is activated at the AMIS.

Figure 4

(ad) MDCK cells transiently expressing CFP-Rac1 (green) were embedded in 3D Matrigel and allowed to grow for 24 h. Cells were then fixed and stained with phalloidin-Alexa594 (a,b,d; red) or anti-CGN (c; red) antibodies. (eg) MDCK cells transiently expressing FRET-based Rac1 biosensor were embedded in 3D Matrigel and imaged either at metaphase (e) or telophase (f). (g) shows quantification of FRET signal at the AMIS (area #1) and cell periphery (area #2) during telophase. Data shown are the means and s.d. derived from six cells. (h) MDCK cells transiently expressing CFP-Arf6 (red) were embedded in 3D Matrigel and allowed to grow for 24 h. Cells were then fixed and stained with anti-acetylated tubulin (red) antibodies. Arrows mark the midbody. Consecutive images without an individual letter label show the same cell.
