Figure 5. RanGAP1 Is Localized at the Cytoplasmic Surface of the NPC(A) Detection of RanGAP1 in NRK cells by immunofluorescence microscopy. Cells were double stained with αRanGAP1 (left) and RL1 (right) and analyzed by light microscopy.(B) Detection of RanGAP1 by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy of NRK cells. Cells were double stained with αRanGAP1 (top panels) and RL1 (bottom panels). Single sections through the equatorial plane (left) or nuclear surface plane (right) are shown.(C) Immunogold localization of RanGAP1 in isolated rat liver NEs. Shown are thin section electron micrographs of isolated rat liver NEs displaying NPCs either in cross sections (A–E) or in tangential sections (F–H). Note that gold particles are found exclusively at the cytoplasmic side of NPCs (arrowheads). Cytoplasmic (C) and nuclear (N) faces of the NEs are easily distinguished by the presence of residual chromatin (ch) on the nucleoplasmic side.Scale bar, 100 nm.
