  •                      GFP-tagged plakoglobin
  • Nuclear localization of N deletions. Fertilized eggs were injected with RNA encoding either ND2 (A), ND7 (B) or Arm5-8 (C) mutant forms of HPkg. Living embryos were examined by confocal microscopy at stage 10-12. In the ND2 expressing embryo, the bulk of the polypeptide appears in the nucleus, although cortical polypeptide can be seen. The ND7 polypeptide appeared to localized more equally to both nuclei and cortex. The Arm5-8 polypeptide was localized primarily to the cortex, although weak nuclear localization was still apparent. Scale bars mark 10mm in each part.
