Figure Legend Snippet: Translocation of Cx43 to the nucleus depends on Importin-β. ( a ) Cx43 was IP from purified nuclear or whole cell extracts, after which interaction between Cx43 and Importin-β was analysed by WB. ( b ) HEK293 Cx43+ cells were transfected with GFP-Importin-β (GFP-IMP β ) for 24 h, after which co-localization between Cx43 and GFP-Importin-β was analysed by confocal microscopy. Line profile plots depict the intensity distribution of green and magenta channels along the dashed white lines in the merged image. Arrows in co-localization plots indicate the margins of the nucleus. Inset images display a magnified view of the boxed region. Scale bars, 10 µm. ( c ) siRNA-mediated knockdown of Importin-β was performed in HEK293 Cx43+ cells, for 48 h. Sucrose cushion-based nuclei purification was performed, followed by WB analysis of Cx43. Graphs depict quantification of nuclear and input Cx43 levels, normalized by total protein levels (Ponceau staining; n = 4 biological replicates). ( d ) Levels of nuclei-localized Cx43 WT or Cx43 ΔCT were assessed by WB in purified nuclei. Graphs depict quantification of nuclear Cx43, normalized for transfected Cx43 (input levels; n = 4 biological replicates). ( e ) V5 was IP from whole-cell extracts of HEK293 Cx43− cells transfected with V5-tagged full-length (Cx43 WT ) or NLS-deleted Cx43 (Cx43 ΔNLS ) for 24 h. Graph shows interaction levels of importin-β with Cx43 (V5) assessed by WB ( n = 5 biological replicates). n.s: non-significant.
