Translocation in response
to PMA, bryostatin 1, and PDBu of (A) the GFP-tagged Munc13-1 C1 domain
and (B) the full-length Munc13-1 protein in living HT22 cells. Cells
expressing the GFP-tagged Munc13-1 C1 domain and the full-length Munc13-1
were treated with 1 μM bryostatin 1, PMA, and PDBu. The living
cells were imaged by confocal microscopy as a function of time after
addition of bryostatin 1, PMA, and PDBu. The images are representative
of three independent experiments, and the ratios of the intensities
for the cytoplasm to the nucleus (Munc13-1 C1 domain, 11–16
cells/treatment, A) or the membrane to the cytoplasm (Munc13-1 full-length,
5–9 cells/treatment, B) were calculated and normalized to the
time zero values. An increase in the cytoplasm/nucleus or membrane/cytoplasm
ratio indicates translocation. Values represent the mean of the three
independent experiments. Bars indicate the SEM.
