Interdependent membrane expression of cubilin and amnionless. (a) Rat cubilin (full-length and mini cubilin; 1–930) and human amnionless (full length) constructs encoded by plasmid cDNA used for transient transfection of cultured cells. (b,d,f) Non-permeabilised HEK293T, MDCK cells and RPTECs transfected with the indicated vectors were fixed and stained for membrane-targeted cubilin (red). GFP-tagged amnionless is shown in green and DAPI nuclear staining in blue. (Scale bar: 10 µm). (c,e,g) Plasma membrane expressions of cubilin were obtained in permeabilised HEK293T, MDCK cells and RPTECs cotransfected with amnionless. Pictures are confocal sections taken from the middle height of cells (top) and X-Z vertical sections (bottom) (Scale bar: 10 µm).
