Figure 4. Cellular localization of UGT in human cells expressing native GalT-1. Human liver-derived HepG2 cells, which lack GalT-1, were transfected with the UGT construct. UGT-1 labeled by the anti-HA antiserum (B) colocalized with the anti-CTR433 antibody used as a Golgi marker (A, C, and E). In contrast, when UGT was transfected into Caco-2 cells, which express GalT-1, part of the UGT labeled by the anti-HA antiserum displayed a typical ER pattern (D). No labeling of the ER was observed when Caco-2 cells were transfected with the Golgi marker myc-tagged sialyltransferase, which was labeled by an anti-myc antiserum (F). Cells were counterstained with the appropriate FITC- (A, C, and E) and Texas Red-labeled (B, D, and F) secondary antibodies. Bar, 10 µm.
