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 valuesplusminuss.e.m. of ngreater than or equal to3 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 mum.
