Figure 2. Zeta-Tubulin Localizes to the Basal Foot in Multiciliated Cells (A) Dissociated Xenopus multiciliated oviduct cells stained for zeta-tubulin (green), acetylated tubulin (red), and DAPI (blue). The scale bar represents 5 μm. (B) Transmission EM of oviduct tissue stained with zeta-tubulin antibody and 10-nm gold-conjugated secondary antibody. Arrowheads indicate the basal body, and arrows indicate labeling of the basal foot. The scale bars represent 100 nm. (C) Confocal image of live tadpole epidermal multiciliated cell expressing GFP-zeta-tubulin (green), CLAMP-RFP (red), and centrin-BFP (blue). The arrow shows the direction of ciliary beating. The scale bar represents 5 μm. (D) Confocal image of live tadpole epidermal multiciliated cell expressing EMTB-3XGFP (green), mCherry-zeta-tubulin (red), and centrin-BFP (blue). The arrow shows the direction of ciliary beating. The scale bar represents 5 μm. See also Figures S2 and S3. Image published in: Turk E et al. (2015) Copyright © 2015.
