eGFP-myosin-Vb tail overexpression displaces EEA1 and Rab11a to more perinuclear positions. HeLa cells were transfected with the eGFP-myosin-Vb tail construct and allowed to express overnight. (A) Diagram depicting displacement of peripheral endosomes. (B) Immunofluorescent detection of EEA1. (E, F, G) Cotransfection with the mRFP-Rab11a construct. (H, I, J) Cells cotransfected with the mRFP-Rab8a construct. (C, F, I) eGFP-myosin-Vb tail. (D, G, J) overlays of B+C, E+F, and H+I respectively; arrows, cells expressing the myosin-Vb tail fragment; arrowheads, control cells not expressing the tail. Bar, 15 μm.
