Redistribution of GBF1 from the
15°C peripheral compartments upon warm-up to 37°C is
microtubule dependent. NRK cells were transferred to DMEM
containing HEPES pH 7.4 and either 0.1% DMSO vehicle
control or 5 μg/ml nocodazole (NOZ) and then incubated in
a 15°C water bath for 2 h. Cells were either
immediately fixed (0′) or quickly transferred to 37°C
water bath and incubated for additional 1 min (1′), 3 min
(3′), or 10 min (10′) before fixation. Coverslips were
processed for IF by using polyclonal anti-GBF1 (e–h) or
double-label IF (a–d and i–l) by using polyclonal anti-
GBF1 (c and d, and I and j) and monoclonal anti-Man II
(53FC3) (a and b, and k and l). Images obtained by standard
epifluorescence microscopy are presented. Bar, 10 μm.
Similar results were obtained in at least two independent
experiments.
