Fig. 1. HEK-293 cells expressing CG8422 display ßarr2-GFP
translocation in response to diuretic hormone 44 (DH) neuropeptide. A 10-min
time series imaging a single CG8422-expressing cell before and
following exposure to 10-6 mol l-1 DH (final
concentration). Numbers at the bottom right of each panel refer to minutes
after DH exposure. Prior to peptide application, most of the fluorescence is
uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm. Within 1 min, and at times thereafter,
the fluorescence translocates to the cell membrane. Similar results were
obtained from three independent transfections: the majority of GFP-positive
cells displayed clear ß-arrestin translocation within minutes of exposure
to DH.
