Fig. 4. Analysis of protein domains required for nuclear localization of SMN. (A) The proportion of fluorescence in the nucleus relative to the total fluorescence contained in the entire stack of z-sections is presented to visualize the distribution of ten cells for each construct. (B) The 14.3.3
protein localized to the cytoplasm. (C) 14.3.3
fused to the SMN ex2B region remained in the cytoplasm, whereas (D) fusion to the SMN Tudor domain led to accumulation of the protein in the nucleus. Bars, 3 µm.
