Figure Legend Snippet: HeLa cells were permeabilized with digitonin and washed in import buffer as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The reactions were carried out at 37 °C in transport buffer containing an ATP-regenerating system, 2 mm GTP, 5–7 mg/ml HeLa cytoplasmic extract, and 10 µg/ml Fl-PNA/pUSAG3. Reactions were stopped at 0.5 h (A), 1 h (B, 1.5 h (C), 2 h (D), 3 h (E), and 4 h (F) by washing the cells with wash buffer and fixing them at 4 °C for 15 min in 3% paraformaldehyde in wash buffer. Half-micron sections of the cells were observed and digitized by confocal microscopy.
Techniques Used: Confocal Microscopy
Figure Legend Snippet: Digitonin permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with either the Fl-PNA conjugated 4.2-kb plasmid pUSAG3 (A–D) or the Fl-PNA conjugated 14.4-kb plasmid pUSAG9 (E–H), both at 10 µg/ml, in the presence or absence of cellular extracts. BSA was added to 10 mg/ml to cells incubated in the absence of extracts (A and E). HeLa cell nuclear extract (Promega) was added to 0.5 mg/ml B and F). HeLa cell cytoplasmic extract was added to 5 mg/ml in the absence (C and G) or presence (D and H) of nuclear extract.
Techniques Used: Incubation, Plasmid Preparation
Figure Legend Snippet: Digitonin permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °Cwith transport buffer lacking ATP, phosphocreatine, creatine phosphokinase, GTP, and Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (10 µg/ml). The cells were then washed, fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde, and viewed by confocal microscopy. Cells incubated in the absence of cellular extracts contained 10 mg/ml BSA (A). Nuclear (B and D) and cytoplasmic (C and D) extracts were depleted of endogenous nucleotide triphosphates by preincubating the extracts with 10 units/ml apyrase at 25 °C for 30 min.
Techniques Used: Incubation, Confocal Microscopy
Figure Legend Snippet: Permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated with transport buffer containing Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (10 µg/ml) for 4 h at 37 °C. All reactions contained HeLa cytoplasm at 5 mg/ml and either no additional lectin (A), concanavalin A (0.1 mg/ml; B) or wheat germ agglutinin (0.1 mg/ml; C).
Techniques Used: Incubation
Figure Legend Snippet: HeLa cells were permeabilized and incubated with transport buffer containing Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (10 µg/ml; A–D) or Rh-BSA-NLS (25 µg/ml; E–H) at 37 °C with the indicated additions. Rh-BSA-NLS import reactions were incubated for 30 min, and pDNA import reactions proceeded for 4 h. His-tagged importin α, importin β, and RAN were purified by nickel affinity chromatography and concentrated for addition to the reactions. The reactions contained BSA alone (10 mg/ml; A and E), nuclear extract alone (0.5 mg/ml; B and F), importin α, importin β, and RAN (0.5 mg/ml each; C and G), or importin α, importin β, RAN, and nuclear extract (D and H).

Figure Legend Snippet: Permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with transport buffer containing HeLa cytoplasmic extract (5 mg/ml) and Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (10 µg/ml) in the absence (A) or presence of a 1000-fold molar excess of BSA-NLS (0.23 mg/ml; B), a 100-fold excess of pUC19 (0.7 mg/ml; C), or a 100-fold molar excess of SV40 DNA (1.3 mg/ml; D).
Techniques Used: Incubation
Figure Legend Snippet: Permeabilized HeLa cells were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C in transport buffer containing BSA alone (A and C) or HeLa cytoplasmic extract at 5 mg/ml (B and D). The substrates used were either Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (A and B) or Fl-PNA/pUSAG3DSV40 (C and D), both present at 10 µg/ml.
Techniques Used: Incubation
Figure Legend Snippet: Plasmid DNA (0.1 µg) was incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with HeLa cell cytoplasmic extract (5 mg/ml) in transport buffer. Protein was removed by phenol: chloroform extraction, and the DNAs were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, transferred to a nylon membrane, and probed using a mixture of 32P-labeled pUSAG3 and pGenegrip blank. Lanes 1–3 contain 0.1 µg of unincubated plasmid used as starting material, and lanes 4–6 contain DNA incubated with cytoplasmic extract. Three plasmids were used: Fl-PNA/pUSAG3 (lanes 1 and 4), rhodamine-labeled PNA/ pGenegrip-GFP (lanes 2 and 5), and unlabeled pUSAG3 (lanes 3 and 6).
Techniques Used: Plasmid Preparation, Incubation, Extraction, Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, Membrane, Labeling
