Rab4a and Rab11a regulate an ISO-stimulated boost in CaV1.2 recycling. (A) TIRF images of Cav1.2-tRFP distribution in the PM of tsA-201 cells before (Left) and after 100 nM ISO (Right; n = 18). (B) Time course and kinetics (solid red line) of the fold-change in CaV1.2-tRFP intensity in the TIRF footprint before, during, and after ISO stimulation. (C) Histogram summarizing CaV1.2 channel cluster density (number/μm2) in the TIRF footprint in control and ISO-stimulated conditions. (D–F) Same layout format in tsA-201 cells coexpressing constitutively active (GTP-locked) Rab4a (n = 10). (G–I) Same layout format in tsA-201 cells coexpressing dominant-negative (GDP-locked) Rab4a (n = 12). (J–L) Same layout format in tsA-201 cells coexpressing dominant-negative (GDP-locked) Rab11a (n = 8). (M) Calculation and resultant theoretical time-course and kinetics of Rab11a-dependent ISO-stimulated recycling. Data that passed a normality test (C and L) were analyzed with a paired t test, others (F and I) were analyzed with a nonparametric Wilcoxon test. ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05.
