doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0219-5_12
Figure Lengend Snippet: Microtubules are nucleated at specific sites within the Golgi ribbon. (a) An RPE1 cell expressing Emerald-EB3 (green, MT +TIP marker) and TGN-RFP (magenta, Golgi marker). A maximum-intensity projection of a confocal spinning disk microscopy sequence over a 3-min period and Z thickness 3 μm is shown (a, a′). Inset in a is enlarged in a′, showing newly formed GDMTs formed at the same site (arrows); asterisk indicates centrosome position. (b) Quantification of nearest-neighbor distance between GDMT nucleation sites, based on 3D live-time imaging (Reproduced from [9] with permission from [MBoC])
Article Snippet: Plasmids: As MT +TIP markers, Emerald-EB3 (kind gift from M. Davidson; Addgene plasmid # 54076) or another fluorescently tagged +TIP marker can be used.
