GBF1 and BIG1 overlap with distinct
sets of coat proteins: GBF1 significantly with β-COP and
BIG1 preferentially with clathrin. NRK cells were fixed and
processed for double-label IF by using anti-β-COP and
anti-GBF1 (a–c), anti-β-COP and anti-BIG1 (d–f), anti-
clathrin and anti-GBF1 (g–i), or anti-clathrin and anti-
BIG1 (j–l). Shown are single-slice confocal images taken
in the indicated channel. Middle panels (b, e, h, and k)
show superimposed left and right images. The inset shows a
fourfold magnification of the area indicated by arrowhead.
Arrows in b, c, e, and f point to some peripheral
structures stained by anti-β-COP only. Bars, 5 μm.
Shown are representative data from at least two
experiments.
