Mobility of ER chaperone BiP is retarded in Z-α1-antitrypsin-expressing cells. CHO cells coexpressing BiP-mCherry and either YFP-M-α1-antitrypsin (A) or YFP-Z-α1-antitrypsin (B) were subjected to 2-color FRAP. Retardation of recovery of BiP-mCherry fluorescence (red squares) was noted in YFP-Z-α1-antitrypsin vs. YFP-M-α1-antitrypsin-expressing cells (P < 0.0001). C) Two-color FRAP was performed with region of interest sufficiently small to lie within one large inclusion. Area of bleached YFP-Z-α1-antitrypsin persists for more than 2 min. BiP-mCherry fluorescence was completely bleached within inclusion but began to recover during 5 min, while adjacent inclusions partially dimmed. Scale bars, 10 µm. D) Quantification of BiP-mCherry fluorescence intensity in bleached vs. adjacent inclusion 1 min after bleaching relative to immediate postbleaching intensity.
