Fig. 2. Association of
B-crystallin with MTs. (A) Co-localization of
B-crystallin and MTs in formaldehyde fixed L6E9 cells. (B) Co-localization of
B-crystallin and MT in methanol fixed L6E9 cells. (A,B) Merged immunofluorescence micrographs (right) of the same cells visualized for
B-crystallin (left) and tubulin (middle). Insets show an enlargement (threefold) of the boxed area in the right-hand panels. (C) Co-precipitations of
B-crystallin and reconstituted MTs from L6E9 cell lysate. SDS-PAGE of total proteins (lane 1), the supernatant (lane 2), the precipitate (lane 3) in I and their immunoblots with the C1 antibody in II. Scale bars, 10 µm.
