Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Actin isoform coding sequence affects the overall size and distribution of focal adhesions. Top, representative images of eGFP-actin- transfected cells stained with anti-paxillin to visualize focal adhesions. Total interference reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M) images of paxillin staining are shown alone (top) and as an overlay with widefield eGFP signals (bottom). Bottom, quantification of focal adhesion size in the four different cell populations, shown as a distribution plot (for all focal adhesions analyzed) and as a scatter plot (for individual cells) in the inset. Scale bar = 10 mm. Figure 3 continued on next page
