Fig. 2. Analysis of GFP8 cells with antibodies for acetylated tubulin. Top:
isolated cytoskeleton of a control cell stained with polyclonal
anti-
-tubulin and 6-11B-1 (acetylated tubulin), revealing the numerous
microtubules of the cytoskeleton and the four acetylated flagellar roots.
Bottom: GFP8 cytoskeletons stained with 6-11B-1 and corresponding GFP images,
revealing that prominent SFA-GFP fibers were mostly associated with
microtubular bundles characterized by short acetylated regions. The arrowheads
mark microtubular roots acetylated over most of their length. Bar, 10
µm.
