Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) HeLa Fcγ cells were subjected to subcellular fractionation, and immunoblot analysis was done against the indicated proteins. (B) Sucrose gradient fractionation was done to obtain the sER and rER fractions and immunoblotted against indicated antibodies. (C) HeLa Fcγ cells expressing mRFP-Rab4 or mRFP-Rab10 were infected with L.p. for the indicated times, stained with L.p . for immunofluorescence analysis, and the vacuoles positive for mRFP-Rab4 or -Rab10 were quantified. Bar, 5 μm. The purple box represents the magnified image. Results represent three independent experiments (100 vacuoles were scored in each). Error bars represent mean ± SD. (D) HEK293 Fcγ cells were transfected with either mock, Rab4, or Rab10 siRNA for 72 h, and cell extracts were immunoblotted against the indicated antibodies. (E and F) HeLa Fcγ cells were silenced for Rab4 or Rab10 for 72 h, infected with L.p. for 4 and 8 h, and the vacuoles positive for Rtn4 or Sec61β were counted. Results represent three independent experiments, and statistical significance was measured using one-way ANOVA (100 vacuoles were scored in each experiment). Bars represent mean ± SD. (G) HeLa Fcγ cells were silenced with Rab4 and Rab10 siRNA, and the ER morphology was observed by immunofluorescence analysis. Bars, 5 μm. Arrows indicate disruption of the sER tubular network. Arrowheads indicate diffusion of rER to the cell periphery. (H) Triplicate experiments (30 cells for each condition) from 3G were quantitated and are shown as a histogram. Bars represent mean ± SD.
