FIGURE 8.
INPP5E exhibits a ring-shaped localization at the transition zone. (A) hTERT-RPE1 cells were transfected with GFP-INPP5E, serum starved and immunostained with GFP (green) and ARL13B (grayscale) antibodies and imaged by STED microscopy (confocal resolution image of the ARL13B stained axoneme is shown). Arrows indicate transition zone INPP5E localization, bar indicates 1 μm. (B) Graph shows the lateral diameter between the highest intensity points of the INPP5E transition zone protein puncta perpendicular to the plane of the axoneme. Bars represent mean ± SEM, n = 3 independent experiments, 30 cilia imaged per experiment and all cilia with two distinct INPP5E puncta measured. (C) Example image showing method for the lateral diameter and axial distance measurements, bar indicates 1 μm.
