Fig. 5. Effects of calpain inhibition on
-actinin localization and dynamics
in CHOK1 cells plated on fibronectin. (A) Representative images of fixed cells
treated with (b) and without (a) ALLN, and fixed cells that have been
transfected with hrEGFP (c) or hrEGFP-calpastatin (d). Arrows and inserts show
GFP-positive cells. (B) Live imaging of cells co-transfected with
GFP
-actinin and control vector (a), and cells co-transfected
with GFP
-actinin and calpastatin (b). GFP
-actinin
was less dynamic and did not localize to focal complexes in cells that
expressed calpastatin in comparison to control vector (Movies 7, 8). Bars, 20
µm.
