(A) Constructs of expression vectors. (a) GFP-cornulin full length, (b) GFP-cornulin
EF, (c) GFP-EF-hand domain of cornulin, (d) HA-cornulin and (e) V5-Cornulin. Amino-terminal region containing EF-hand domains (squared box) and repeats (diagonal hatched boxes) are indicated as well as epitope site (horizontal black bar). (B) Cornulin is cytoplasmic and not a substrate for TG 1. HeLa cells were co-transfected with the indicated constructs and fixed. Cellular distribution was examined by GFP autofluorescence (left panel) and by staining with a mouse anti-TG 1 antibody (right panel). Cornulin has a cytoplasmic distribution and is not a substrate of TG 1, unlike control SPRR4 that colocalizes with this enzyme in the cell periphery. Control GFP exhibits a diffuse epifluorescence throughout the cytoplasm and nucleus.
