Fig. 5. Ca2+-dependent nuclear translocation of 6ROX-CaM in HeLa cells. (A) Cells electroporated with 6ROX-CaM and fluo-4 in 2 mM EGTA (t0) were stimulated (at t43) with 2.1 mM Ca2+. t1/2 f the translocation of 6ROX-CaM into the nucleus was 85 seconds. At t500, the concentration of 6ROX-CaM that was associated with nucleoli and was present in the nucleoplasm had increased 3.9-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively. Nuclear translocation of 6ROX-CaM was measured at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 seconds (t0 to t500) and the data are shown in (B). Colored boxes indicate areas that have been measured for nuclear translocation of 6ROX-CaM. (B) Time course of the normalized 6ROX-CaM fluorescence (F/F(O)cytoplasm) in the (
) nucleolus, (
) nucleoplasm and (*) cytoplasm. The arrow indicates the addition of 2.1 mM Ca2+.
