Loss of FMNL2/3 does not affect Golgi reassembly from the ER. (a) Representative GM130-stainings of NIH3T3 control and FMNL2/3 KO cell lines not treated (“−BFA”) or treated with Brefeldin A (2,5 µg/ml; “+BFA”) for 30 min, followed by replacement of BFA-containing medium with regular growth medium (“washout”) for the times indicated. Note that prior to BFA treatment, the Golgi apparatus is less organized and less compact in both KO cell lines compared to control cells, consistent with the data shown above. (b) Quantitation of average number of Golgi fragments in different cell lines and conditions as indicated. Both KO clones were normalized to the average number of Golgi fragments in control cells (“−BFA” = before treatment); n is number of cells analyzed. Differences between the 60 min washout stainings and those of untreated cells (“−BFA”) were confirmed not to be statistically significant (t-test) in all cell lines, indicating complete recovery from BFA-treatment, irrespective of the presence of FMNL subfamily formins.
