Figure 3From: The adhesion modulation protein, AmpA localizes to an endocytic compartment andinfluences substrate adhesion, actin polymerization and endocytosis invegetative Dictyostelium cellsAmpA does not change the amount of total actin protein in the cells.A) Polyacrylamide gels were loaded with total protein from 1 x105 cells per lane and stained with Coomassie. B)The amount of protein loaded was determined to give a linear rangesignal when scanned on a densitometer. To control for protein loadingdifferences the ratio of intensity of the F-actin band to a referenceband was determined. C) Western blot of total protein using ananti-actin antibody. 1 x 105 cells were loaded per lane. Incontrol experiments this amount of protein gave antibody staining foractin which was linearly dependent on the amount of protein loaded.Back to article page
