Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of subcellular localization of individual Dvl pools. A , representation of typical distribution patterns of Dvl3. (i), punctate; (ii), even, (iii), membrane. B , HEK293t cells were transfected with corresponding plasmids and fixed, and Dvl3 was stained with anti-FLAG antibody. Distribution pattern of Dvl3 was analyzed in at least 100 cells. CK1ϵ is unable to promote even localization of Dvl3 in C2, C3, and C4 S-A mutants, whereas V5-Fzd5 changes the intracellular distribution of Dvl3 to membranous in all tested constructs with the exception of Dvl3K435M, which served as a positive control. C , HEK293t cells were transfected with corresponding plasmids and treated as indicated with 10 μ m CK1δ/ϵ inhibitor PF-670462. Inhibition of CK1δ/ϵ activity resulted in faster migration of FLAG-hDvl3 in control and CK1ϵ-induced conditions. In conditions with FLAG-hDvl3 coexpressed with V5-Fzd5 and dominant negative ( DN ) CK1ϵ-P3, acceleration of FLAG-hDvl3 electrophoretic mobility was observed only in mutant K435M. This finding confirms that CK1ϵ is and K435 is not dispensable for V5-Fzd5-induced phosphorylation of FLAG-hDvl3. D , phospho-Ser-643-Dvl3 was detected using anti-Ser(P)-643-Dvl3-specific antibody by Western blotting. Total Dvl3 was detected by anti-FLAG antibody. Anti-Ser(P)-643-Dvl3-specific antibody does not detect Dvl3 C2+C3 S-A mutant, but it strongly recognizes Dvl3 co-expressed with CK1ϵ. E , inhibition of endogenous CK1ϵ blocks signal detected by anti-Ser(P)-643-Dvl3 specific antibody. Decline in signal intensity was confirmed by Western blot quantification. CK1ϵ overexpression serves as a positive control. F , phospho-Ser-643-Dvl3 was detected by immunocytochemistry in HEK293t cells transfected with the indicated combination of plasmids. The signal of anti-Ser(P)-643-Dvl3 antibody ( red ) is negligible for Dvl3 expressed either alone or in combination with Fzd5 but strong for evenly distributed Dvl3 after CK1ϵ co-expression. Total Dvl3 detected by anti-FLAG antibody is shown in green . All confocal images were acquired using the same laser/detector settings and subsequently quantified using ImageJ software. Graphs show the overlap of fluorescence intensity peaks of individual channels along profiles indicated in the merged micrographs by a white line. A.U. , arbitrary units.
