PolyQ dependence of relative nuclear and cytoplasmic TBP protein levels. (A) representative fluorescent photomicrographs used for quantitative analyses. Cells were transfected with CMVp-GFP-HAP1-A7–598 and either CMVp-DSRed2-TBP-FL, CMVp-DSRed2-TBP-ΔQ, or CMVp-DSRed2-TBP-Q50, as indicated at left. White dotted line delineates nuclei in each frame. (B) nuclear-cytoplasmic TBP distributions. Bars show average plus one standard deviation. Aserisks, cytoplasmic levels of TBP-ΔQ were significantly less than those of TBP-FL, P < 0.05. Cytoplasmic levels of TBP-FL and TBP-Q50 were not significantly different.
