Fig. 8. Effects of FERM mutations (KN1-2 and
FERM) and neomycin treatment on
the association of PTPL1 with the cytoskeletal fraction. The amount of PTPL1
and its mutants with the particulate (P) fraction after COS1 cell
fractionation (see Figs 7 and
9) treated or not with neomycin
was quantified after densitometry of several immunoblots. White and black
columns represent the percentage of PTPL1 associated with the cytoskeletal
fraction in the absence or presence of neomycin treatment, respectively.
Association of wild-type PTPL1 with the cytoskeletal fraction was
significantly different after neomycin treatment (P<0.005,
Student's t-test, n=10) and almost unchanged for KN1-2 and
FERM mutants (P=0.33 and P=0.42, respectively,
Student's t-test, n=9). Mean±s.d. of n
experiments (numbers in parentheses).
