(A) Effect of Rab43N131I on the surface transport of GPCRs. HEK293 cells were transfected with individual GPCRs together with dsRed-C1 (Ctrl) or dsRed-Rab43N131I, and the cell-surface expression of each receptor was measured by radioligand binding or flow cytometry.
(B) Effect of siRNA-mediated depletion of Rab43 on the surface transport of GPCRs.
(C) Effect of Rab43 on the subcellular localization of different membrane proteins. Scale bar, 10 µm.
(D) Deglycosylation of α2A-AR (top) and AT1R (bottom) by Endo H treatment. $ indicates Endo-H-resistant bands and $$ Endo-H-sensitive bands.
(E) Quantitative data showing the effect of Rab43 on the formation of Endo-H-resistant (left) and Endo-H-sensitive glycosylation (right).
Data represent mean ± SE (n = 3–5) (A, B, and E). *p < 0.05 versus Ctrl. See also Figure S5.
