Fig.4. GFP-tagged Glut1 is actively excluded from rod outer segments of transgenic Xenopus tadpoles. (A,B) GFP-tagged Glut1 was expressed in transgenic tadpole rods and localized to the plasma membrane of the synaptic terminal, nuclear region and inner segment, including the calycal processes (arrowheads). The outer segments extend well beyond the GFP signal in the calycal processes (B). (C) GFP-tagged Glut1 mutant lacking its 38-residue C-terminal tail (GFP–Glut1δ38) displayed prominent outer segment localization in tadpole rods. OS, outer segment; IS, inner segment; N, nucleus; ST, synaptic terminal. Scale bars: 10 μm. Image published in: Gospe SM et al. (2010) Copyright © 2010.
