Binding of cocaine increases the concentration of R60A (but not W63A) in the filopodia of HEK293 cells. (A) Cells transiently expressing wt YFP-HA-DAT, or its R60A or W63A mutants were incubated with 10 μM cocaine for 30 min at RT. Live-cell imaging was performed through the 515 nm (YFP, green) filter channel. Maximal z-projections of 5 consecutive x-y-confocal planes are shown. (B) Insets represent high magnification images of the regions marked by the white rectangle in (A). Arrows point to representative filopodia. (C) The filopodia/FM ratios of mean intensities of the YFP fluorescence were calculated as described in “Methods”. Results are shown as mean values (±SEM, n = 10). ***p < 0.001.
