FIGURE 1:

CAV1 P158 is targeted to the ER and lipid droplets as the result of the introduction of a functional ER retention signal by the frameshift mutation. (A–E) Immunofluorescence staining of WT CAV1, CAV1-P158, CAV1-P158-AAYK, CAV1-P158-ΔKKYK, and CAV1-KKYK (green) expressed in Cav1–/– MEFs. Cells were colabeled with the ER marker calreticulin (CalR, red) and the lipid droplet marker ADRP (cyan). The dashed box indicates the region shown in the zooms. Scale bars = 10 μm. (F, G) Quantification of the extent of colocalization between CAV1 constructs with CalR or ADRP, respectively, calculated by Pearson’s correlation. The data were analyzed with a nonparametric Kluskal–Wallis test and post hoc Dunn’s multiple comparisons test to calculate p values. Data are averaged over three independent experiments for the following numbers of regions of interest (ROIs): Calreticulin/WT CAV1, n = 33; calreticulin/CAV1-P158, n = 30; calreticulin/CAV1-P158-AAYK, n = 52; calreticulin/CAV1-P158-ΔKKYK, n = 43; calreticulin/CAV1-KKYK, n = 40; ADRP/WT CAV1, n = 85; ADRP/CAV1-P158, n = 73; ADRP/CAV1-P158-AAYK, n = 104; ADRP/CAV1-P158-ΔKKYK, n = 107; and ADRP/CAV1-KKYK, n = 114. Asterisks (*) and hashtags (#) indicate statistically significant differences compared with wild-type CAV1 and CAV1-P158, respectively. ***/###, p < 0.001.
