doi: 10.1101/2025.01.06.631593
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Relative Git1 intensity in the Smo-TurboID proteomic results. (B) Git1 is biotinylated by Smo-TurboID independent of Shh treatment. Smo-V5-TurboID stable cells were infected with lentiviruses expressing YFP-Git1. Cells were treated with Shh for 1h, and cell lysates were used for purification with Streptavidin beads. a-Tubulin is used as loading control. (C) Git1 localizes to the basal body. NIH3T3 cells were transfected with YFP-Git1, and stained for primary cilium (Arl13b, red), basal body (Pericentrin, magenta), and nucleus (DAPI, blue). In addition to its putative distribution in the cytosol, Git1 also localizes to the basal body. Scale bar, 5 μm, 2 μm (inset). (D, F) Immunofluorescence imaging of Smo and phosphorylated Smo (pSmo) in WT and Git1-null cells. The cells are treated with 1 μg/ml recombinant Shh or vehicle. Primary cilium is highlighted by acetylated Tubulin (red). Scale bar, 5 μm, 2 μm (inset). (E, G) Quantification of ciliary Smo and pSmo immunofluorescence intensity (AU). n = 100-150 cells/condition from three biological replicates. (H) Representative images of immunofluorescence staining in Smo-TurboID cells transfected with control shRNA or shRNA against Git1. Cells were fixed 72hr after lentiviral infection and stained with PKA-C (green), Arl13b (red) and nucleus (DAPI, blue). Scale bar, 5 μm, 2 μm (inset). (I) Left: Quantification of ciliary PKA-C immunofluorescence intensity (AU), n = 90 cells/condition from three biological replicates; Right: Quantification of % ciliary PKA-C relative to total nucleus in the field. n= 15 fields per condition. Statistics in E, G, I (Left): two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Statistics in I (Right) is assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test. *p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, ns, not significant.
