Figure 1: AKAP95, PKA, and PDE are present in the nucleus.
a) Western blot images of whole-cell, non-nuclear, and nuclear HEK293T lysates reveal localization of AKAP95, PKARIIα, and PKAcat within the nucleus. PDE4D5 is also detected in nuclear fractions, though PDE3B is not. β-tubulin antibody staining shows a lack of cytosolic protein in the nuclear fraction, and probing for CREB provides a positive control for nuclear isolation. b) Representative images showing immunofluorescence staining of endogenous protein similarly detects the candidate proteins in the nucleus. Scale bars, 10 μm (See Supplemental Figure 1 for quantification of nuclear localization of PKAcat and PKA RIIα).
