Analysis of TTP truncation and substitution mutants. (A) Schematic representation of wild-type TTP as well as truncation and substitution mutants. NES: nuclear export signal; ZFD: zinc-finger domain; 14-3-3bs: 14-3-3-binding site. (B) Quantitative immunofluorescence analysis showing the percentage of transfected cells in which truncated TTP mutants accumulate in SGs (average values
s.e.m. of n
3 independent experiments). COS7 cells were transfected with TTP-myc, TTP-NZ-myc, TTP-Z-myc, TTP-ZC-myc and TTP-ZC-S178A-myc, and processed as described for Figure 3B. (C) Representative immunofluorescence micrographs of arsenite-treated COS7 cells transfected with TTP-ZC-myc or (D) TTP-ZC-S178A-myc. Left panels show the myc-tagged TTP mutants (red), center panels show TIA-1 as a marker of SGs (green, arrows) and right panels show merged views. Size bar is 10
