Figure 1From: The cyclic nucleotide gated cation channel AtCNGC10 traffics from the ER via Golgi vesicles to the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis root and leaf cellsStructure and expression of CNGCs in Arabidopsis. (A) Two dimensional model of a generic CNGC as positioned in the membrane relative to the inward and outward orientations. Locations of the epitopes for the AtCNGC10- and AtCNGC5-specific antisera are shown. Six transmembrane domains (S1-S6), the pore (PR), cyclic nucleotide-binding (CNBD) and calmodulin-binding domains (CaMBD) are indicated. (B) Quantitation of relative mRNA levels for the Atcngc10 and Atcngc5 genes using quantitative RT-PCR. Cngc mRNA levels were normalized to actin mRNA levels. (C) Immunoprecipitation of AtCNGC10 and AtCNGC5 from root (Rt) and leaf (Lf) total cellular proteins vs. a negative control (Cn, E. coli total protein). Molecular sizes of protein bands are indicated in kilodaltons (kDa). The black arrowhead denotes the band corresponding to each CNGC. The asterisk (*) refers to a non-specific band detected in all samples.Back to article page
