Fig. 6. Immunolocalization of MAGI-3 in primary cultured astrocytes. Primary rat
astrocytes (A-F) or older cultures (G-L) were double labeled with antibodies
to MAGI-3 (red) and ß-catenin (green), phosphotyrosine (PY, green),
vinculin (green) or Alexa-488 phalloidin to stain actin filaments as indicated
in each panel. Merged images for each corresponding set of staining are shown
in the right panels. Colocalization of MAGI-3 and tyrosine phosphorylated
proteins at cell-cell contact sites are labeled with an arrow. Arrowheads in
D-I mark focal adhesion sites, which contain tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins
but not MAGI-3. Localization of MAGI-3 at the end of actin filaments is shown
at higher magnification in the inset of the last panel.
