Figure 5.

Loss of PtdIns(3)P is correlated with the acidification of distal tPCs. Evolution of p40PX-GFP and pHrodo fluorescence in growing tPCs. RAW macrophages expressing p40PX-GFP (top, green; middle, white) were challenged with pHrodo-conjugated filamentous bacteria and imaged live by simultaneous acquisition of both fluorescence emissions. Micrographs are selected frames from Video 2. pHrodo fluorescence is shown in red in the top row of micrographs and in false-rainbow palette in bottom one. Blue in the rainbow palette indicates neutral pH and red indicates acidic pH. Brackets in the panels from the left indicate position of external filamentous bacteria, detected in bright light field. Arrowheads in lower panels point to the distal tip of the tPCs. Asterisks indicate bacterial-associated pHrodo fluorescence extracted into cytoplasmic vesicles as the tPCs remodel during internalization. Bars, 5 µm.
